Problems with the Su-57 Reported in the United States: No Parts for the Fighters

Russia's fifth-generation Su-57 fighter is "on the verge of disappearing" due to the lack of critically important components. This is claimed by analyst Reuben Johnson in an article for the American magazine 19FortyFive, citing a leak of classified documents.

According to the author, the domestic industry is allegedly facing a shortage of critical components for the production of new aircraft.

Johnson described the current situation with the phrase "for want of a nail the kingdom was lost."

If significant improvements do not occur between the prototypes and the production models, the Su-57 will not be able to meet the standards of fifth-generation aircraft.

The same publication recently claimed that the Su-57's effective scattering area was allegedly 1,000 times worse than that of the F-35. Retired Colonel Vasily Dandykin explained to "First Technical" why this does not correspond to reality.
