The military department of the Russian Federation does not cease to amaze the public with its decisions. A few days ago in the media, as if by the wind, information flew over the modernization of the Su-57 .

The modernization of the fifth-generation fighter is a good process for strengthening the Russian Aerospace Forces, but the problem is that this Su-57 model has not even been adopted yet, so it is modernizing the draft version. On the one hand, this solution looks as ridiculous as possible, and on the other, it is extremely logical.

The new model is called the Su-57 of the second stage , but military experts, soldiers, analysts and just amateurs came to the common name Super-Dry .

What innovations are ahead?

Firstly, the replacement of hydraulic actuators of control surfaces with electric motors, this change will increase indicators such as stealth and stealth. It also helps to increase the survivability of a combat unit with various injuries.

Secondly , the new avionics, modern equipment, will be supplemented by the latest on-board equipment, which will allow the Su-57 of the second stage to detect targets at a greater distance, and the possibility of disabling the "electronics" is minimized.

Thirdly, the military department of the Russian Federation plans to expand the package of guided weapons and equip the aircraft with “new breath” missiles, this process contributes to military reinforcement.

Fourth, the Super-Dry should be equipped with a new distinctive engine, which is significantly superior to the "Product-30".

The first flight is planned to be made in mid-2022, and commissioning is due in 2024. In general, this is normal, because the model taken as the basis is ready, which means that most of the questions fly off immediately.

Why is the new model replacing the previous one for export?

I think it is no secret that the Russian Federation is actively selling its weapons to various states. Aviation in this matter is no exception. I believe that many powers have an interest in buying a fifth-generation fighter from Russia.

It now becomes clear why Russia has two similar models, the Su-57 will be exported, and the new Super-Sukhoi or Su-57 of the second stage will become the main unit of the Russian Air Force.

The Su-57 will be significantly inferior to its follower, which means that it can be safely sold to India, which has recently been buying up almost all the weapons of our country.
