Russia is aggressively promoting the export version of its fifth-generation fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57trying to capture the interest of countries that Algeria, India y Turkey.
The Kremlin is intensifying efforts to sell the Su-57 on international markets
Recently, Russian state media reported that The Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation had received requests from these countries. However, these “requests” seem more like a propaganda tactic intended to inflate the perception of global interest in an aircraft whose reliability and capabilities are at least in doubt.
Su-57
In 2023, he Su-57 debuted in Aero India Lounge in Bengaluru. Rosoboron export, the Russian trading company, has described it as a “promising fifth-generation multirole fighter.” The Kremlin often presents him as superior to his American counterpart. This exaggeration is simply a reflection of the old Soviet tactics of technical exaggeration and disinformation.
He the origin of Su-57 It is set at the height of the Cold War, when the Soviet Union addressed the need for a robust next-generation fighter. The I-90 program, designed to meet this need, focused on ground attack and speed capabilities. However, like so many Soviet projects, ambitions far exceeded actual technical capability. Work on the I-90 program stopped with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the Russian Ministry of Defense did not resume the project until the late 1990s.
Trouble-free development and unfulfilled promises of the Su-57 Felon fighter

The new competition PACK FA It was a race between Sukhoi y Mikoyanfinal resultant Sukhoi who wins and thus begins the development of the next generation fighter aircraft. However, this “winner” is rather a survivor of a competition undermined by a lack of innovation and funds. He Su-57known for I TAKE like “Felon”, it contains several improvements over its predecessors, although it is not as solid as the Kremlin claims.
The project initially suffered a series of setbacks that led to structural and technical problems, including an accident during a test flight in 2019. The first Su-57 did not go into service with Russian space forces until 2020. This long and bumpy development is not exactly proof of reliability. The first Su-57 criminal They were equipped with two afterburning turbofan engines Saturn/Rybinsk AL-31F1 to increase its power. Later the engine was introduced Izdeliye 30which gives even more oomph.
This fifth generation fighter can reach Mach 2.0, surpassing the American one in speed F-35 Lightning II. Despite its higher speed, however Su-57 are not as stealthy as their American counterparts, such as F-22 Raptor. The radar cross-section is larger, making it easier to detect by enemy aircraft.
Limited opportunities and questionable export possibility for the Su-57E

The export version of the Su-57E It will have the most advanced avionics in Russia. Although not many details are known about this new prototype, it is unlikely that these fighters will be produced and sold in the near future. Currently, Russia barely has a full fleet of Felon fighters. Promises of advanced technology and instant availability are nothing more than smoke and mirrors, meant to impress the unwary.
With Moscow depleting its resources and production in the war in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine how it could build more fighter jets for other countries. This point is crucial: Russia’s industrial and economic capacity is seriously compromised, and any export offer should be viewed with justified skepticism.
Russia’s promises to supply fighter jets Su-57 to nations which Algeria, India y Turkey They are at best optimistic aspirations and at worst outright deceptions.
Conclusion: the smoke screen behind the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon
Su-57 criminal
In summary, the Sukhoi Su-57 It is a testament to unbridled ambition and technical ineptitude. Potential international buyers should exercise extreme caution when considering this aircraft, whose promises of superior performance and immediate availability are not backed up by reality. The export of Su-57 It is nothing more than a smokescreen to mask the serious shortcomings and limitations of the Russian aviation industry.
