Su-57 predicted turning into a drone


Promising Russian fifth-generation multirole fighter Su-57 allows unmanned modification, said, " Rossiyskaya Gazeta ", the former commander in chief of the Russian VKS, chairman of the Federation Council on Defense and Security, Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev .

In his opinion, the modernization potential of the Su-57 will be enough for half a century. “The onboard radio-electronic equipment of the aircraft was built on the principles of open architecture. In fact, the fighter has all the makings to turn into a fully automatic, unmanned version of a combat vehicle, ”said the former commander-in-chief of the VKS.

Bondarev said that experts classify the Su-57 not just as a sample of the fifth generation, but as a 5+ generation aircraft, receiving technology from the sixth generation. Fifth generation American fighter F-35 Lightning II, the senator believes, is "inferior to our Su-57 in terms of flight performance."

Bondarev also added that the fourth-generation fighters upgraded to version 4 ++ "are outdated and do not meet new challenges," but "are suitable for local combat conflicts with a weak opponent."

The first flight of the Su-57 made in 2010. The Ministry of Defense of Russia does not plan to purchase a car in series. In the coming years, the agency will receive only 12 such fighters.
