The first serial fighter of the fifth generation of the Su-57 will be delivered to the troops in 2019


CAMTO, August 30. . The newest serial fighter of the fifth generation of the Su-57 will begin to arrive at the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Armed Forces in 2019.

The fifth generation Su-57 fighter fully confirmed its characteristics and will "live and develop" in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This was stated by Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko during the forum "Army-2018".

Su-57 (a promising aviation complex of front-line aviation, T-50) is a Russian multi-purpose fighter of the fifth generation, developed by Sukhoi Design Bureau. It is intended for the destruction of all types of air targets, the destruction of enemy ground and surface targets, the monitoring of airspace at large distances from the base, the disabling of headquarters, command posts, and the control system of enemy operations.

A key feature of the Su-57 is the combination of the functions of a strike aircraft and a fighter. This is also reflected in weapons systems. The fighter can use a wide range of both guided and unguided weapons, including medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, guided air-to-surface missiles of various families (X-31, X-35, X-38, X-58, X-59), corrected aviation bombs of caliber 250, 500 and 1500 kg (the latter from external suspension points). The maximum combat load of the aircraft is 10 tons.

Another significant feature of the Su-57 fighter is its low leveling. In order to reduce the radioimage, part of the weapons are placed in the internal compartments of the aircraft. The decrease in the visibility in the radio range is provided by both a form absorbing and reflecting radio waves in the design and covering of the airframe, and by means of electronic warfare, according to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
