Su-57 – Russia’s 5th Gen Fighter

In our series on fifth gen aircraft, we have looked at several foreign designs. We have seen Turkeys TF KAAN project, South Koreas KF-21, India’s HAL AMCA, and China’s J-20 and J-31. Thus far, South Korea’s design appears to have the best technology and experience behind it, or at least at its immediate disposal, while China’s J-20 has the most funding and manufacturing ability supporting it.

Today we turn to Russia, who has produced two next-gen designs. The latest is the Su-75 Checkmate – a design whose future is uncertain – and the other is the Su-57 Felon, an older aircraft already in service, designed as competition for the F-35 and F-22.
