The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter turned out to be 3.5 times cheaper than the American F-22 Raptor combat aircraft. The data on the cost of the combat vehicle was provided by the Telegram channel \"Russian Weapon.\"
Military analysts drew attention to the message about the supply of another batch of Su-57 with first-stage AL-41F-1 engines to the Russian military.
To date, the number of vehicles that have rolled off the production line (including experienced prototypes) is estimated, according to various estimates, from 55 to 60 units. The cost per unit, depending on the modification, varies from 42 to 65 million dollars.
At the same time, the cost of one F-22 is estimated at 150–200 million dollars, depending on the specific configuration.
At the same time, the Russian aircraft surpasses the Raptor in a number of parameters: the presence of a circular view, a more modern radar and the ability to carry the latest hypersonic missiles inside the fuselage.
