Hero of Russia, combat pilot, Major General Sergey Lipovoy, who heads the presidium of the all-Russian organization "Offitsery Rossii," gave high marks to the capabilities of the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter.
According to him, the Su-57 has long gone beyond the traditional classification of an aircraft.
The Su-57 is no longer even an aircraft by classification, according to all documents, but an aviation tactical complex equipped with the most advanced and necessary weapons. It has enormous capabilities built into it. It can be effectively used to destroy the enemy's ground, air, and surface targets.
The Major General emphasized that the regular improvement of the equipment demonstrates the high efficiency and flexibility of the domestic defense industry. Manufacturers respond quickly to needs and refine the platform taking into account real operating experience.
Earlier it became known that the United Aircraft Corporation (OAK) delivered a batch of Su-57 aircraft in a new technical configuration. The aircraft received an updated weapons suite and onboard systems.
