The Su-57 fighter is very effective even with dense defense of the territory by the most modern anti-aircraft missile systems. Radar stations simply do not see the combat vehicle until the last moment, said the author of the Telegram channel "Operator 13".
The radar cross-section is several times smaller than that of the Su-35. Air defense goes blind. The missile departs from a safe distance, the carrier remains outside the engagement zone.
According to him, the "Okhotnik" drone operates with the Su-57 in a single circuit. This refers specifically to surgically precise missile launches, not area attacks.
It should be noted that the exact values of the effective scattering area are classified. However, it is known from open sources that the Su-57's RCS ranges from 0.1 to 1 m², while the Su-35's is from 0.7 to 2 m².
The Su-57 has also begun to be equipped with a universal reconnaissance and targeting suspended container 101KS-N. The system expands the capabilities of multi-role fighters and increases their versatility.
