The new Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter deserves only the highest praise for its aerodynamics and super-maneuverability. This was stated by the commander of the Russian Falcons aerobatic team, Honored Military Pilot Alexander Gostev.
Excellent aircraft. You saw what it is capable of. The aerodynamics are just... I can't even find the words. The aircraft accelerates rapidly, brakes. It has a super-maneuverability mode.
The previous delivery of Su-57 to the Russian Aerospace Forces took place back in February 2026. Rostec noted that the fighters arrived with an updated weapons complex and onboard systems. Military analysts also found out that the Su-57 for the first time received the 101KS-O module for protection against missiles.
The head of the United Aircraft Corporation, Vadim Badeha, emphasized that the Su-57 is currently the only aircraft in the world capable of operating in the air defense engagement zone.
