He declined to disclose the specific number of signed contracts for the transfer of the Su-57E.

You know, I will not confirm how many contracts and agreements for the supply of the Su-57E have been signed. We would simply be setting up our partners. I can say that there are indeed very many interested parties.
Sergei Chemezov, head of Rostec

Meanwhile, it has already become known about the delivery of the first two Su-57s to a foreign customer. It is being kept secret, but there are suggestions that it is Algeria.

Military expert Evgeny Mikhailov, in a commentary to "Pervyi Tekhnicheskiy", explained that the issuance of a license for the production of the Su-57 abroad demonstrates high confidence in domestic weapons.

A video has appeared online of an afterburner mode being engaged by a Su-57 fighter pilot in a demonstration flight. The footage shows the combat aircraft beginning to accelerate rapidly directly over the heads of the spectators.
