The new modernized fifth-generation Su-57 fighters will greatly surprise Western observers. This forecast was made by a source from Moskovsky Komsomolets.
He emphasized that the Su-57 are regularly equipped with new types of weapons and onboard equipment, developed based on the analysis of data obtained during combat operations.
So, I think, soon our Su-57 aircraft, modernized based on combat experience, will be able to greatly surprise all Western observers.
He also ridiculed the theory of Western media that the Su-57 were allegedly transferred to airfields in the Far East to remove them from the zone of a likely strike.
This is complete nonsense. The manufacturing plant is the Gagarin enterprise, located in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. This is right on the border with China. It is there that the previously produced aircraft undergo refinement and deep modernization. They also undergo the first stage of testing there - factory testing.
American publications previously stated that the Su-57 were transferred to the remote Dzemgi airfield in the Khabarovsk Territory, 280 kilometers from the border with Manchuria. OSINTers spotted in satellite images as many as 15 Su-57s in the open air parking lot, as well as 18 Su-35Ss, 3 MiG-31BMs, and 2 Mi-8 helicopters.
Major General of Aviation Sergei Lipovoy explained that the redeployment is related to planned activities of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
