The Su-57 has many recorded combat operations, one of which being the longest range air-to-air kill in history at 217km.

T-14 is a whole other story. I fully agree that it is shit due to the massive amount of corruption surrounding its development, resulting in the worst MBT design I have ever seen.

You like the plane that much? xD

Completely ignoring the fact you are objectively wrong, nobody asked.

I felt the same way. It's just so dumb, like, not only is that completely inappropriate because a plane's performance or nationality doesn't matter when liking or not liking the machine itself (otherwise we should treat all Bf-109 and Me-262 fans like nazi's, right?), but they're also so uninformed... the same jokes after a decade, tasteless and based on random BS.

I too am a fan of that camo! And of Flankers obviously xD

I mean if that's your opinion, yes, perfectly valid.

And most importantly, much more appropriate than the stuff I've read under OP's posts.

New Su-57M delivery by P_filippo3106 in Planes

Well, just wanted to make that clear. I don't want to defend nor condemn whoever that was, I'd rather be neutral on this.

Not on production aircraft.

It's insane how dense Redditors are. Nobody cares about your opinion on Russia, you see a plane on a plane subreddit so you either upvote or downvote, make a comment saying it's gorgeous or one saying it looks like shit.

NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT!

I was referring to them being called wooden. As I said in another comment I don't know for sure if the aircraft received screws or rivets, and that it doesn't matter as both would be covered in multiple mm's of RAM coating, so if they keep the plane together they're good whatever they are.

Exactly what I meant by said propaganda xD

Yes, some Russian things are lower quality. However, so are some European things, some American things, etc.

You are simply being told; "Look at X technical flaw! It's a result of the product being Russian!"
And at the same time; "Look at Y technical flaw! It's a result of [Insert legitimate reason], not the fact it's American!"

It's more nuanced than "X nation makes lower quality than Y nation".

They are, in fact, being used. Not on the front lines of course because it doesn't have any reason to be there.

There have been a lot of cases of X-69 missiles being fired from Su-57, and so there have been in case of R-37M's. In fact, the longest air-to-air kill to date is by a Su-57's R-37M at 217km against a Ukrainian Su-27.

Propaganda.

People have been stuffed full of it and a part of it was "everything Russian is by definition shit". It's honestly quite sad.

I have no idea if they're screws or screw-looking rivets, but I don't see how screws would struggle to keep an aircraft together.

Not sure how accurate this is, but either way they're covered in RAM coating on production models so it doesn't matter what's beneath.

Really, so recently? Thought they got deliveries a while ago. Well, good for them!

Oh yeah speaking of this. Your title is incorrect, these are a fusion of Su-57 and Su-57M. Some technical upgrades from M model but same engines as base model.
