MOSCOW, September 29. Advanced Russian Su-57 fighters are successfully taking part in a special operation in Ukraine, writes Military Watch magazine.
“The Su-57 is actively used in operations in Ukraine, as a result it has become the first fighter of its generation to undergo extensive testing in combat conditions,” the publication says.
As noted in the article, these aircraft performed well when performing missions to hit targets, disable enemy air defense systems, and also in air battles. It is expected that the Su-57 will be significantly more economical to operate than its predecessors, which will allow not only its widespread introduction into front-line units, but also the formation of new regiments.
Su-57 — fifth-generation multirole fighter developed by Sukhoi. Designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets.
It has a supersonic cruising flight speed, intra-fuselage weapons, radio-absorbing coating, as well as the latest set of on-board equipment.
