Weapons are related to the future development of a country, so the development of some fighters has also attracted a lot of attention, in the current development, especially in the global competition of fifth-generation aircraft, Su-57 as the pride of Russia's aviation industry, since its inception has attracted much attention.
Although in many technical indicators, the Su-57 may not be as advanced as the J-20 and F-35, but an in-depth analysis of its design concept and future potential, it is not difficult to find that the capabilities shown by this fighter in specific fields, especially compared with the F-22, which is also a pioneer of the fifth generation aircraft, its potential is undoubtedly more eye-catching.
Su-57 uses a number of stealth technologies, such as radar wave absorbing materials, air inlet design, etc., aimed at reducing the radar reflection cross-sectional area, although its stealth performance may be slightly inferior to J-20 and F-35 and other models, but in actual combat this gap is not insurmountable, and Su-57 in infrared stealth and radar low-band stealth or unique.
After all, it is still an absolute condition for the current development of weapons, and if there is no superior progress in this regard, then the follow-up problems will be even more obvious.
In recent years, many countries have been doing technological development, in order to no longer be restricted by other countries, stealth records can be achieved by a variety of data, but the most important point is the improvement of radar systems.
At the same time, it also has super-maneuverable performance thanks to the advanced flight control system and thrust vectoring engine, Su-57 is excellent in super-maneuverability, this ability is particularly important in close air combat, can give pilots greater operating space and higher probability of survival, Su-57 maneuverability design, is undoubtedly a strong challenge to the F-22 and other traditional fourth-and-a-half/fifth-generation aircraft advantages of the field, Su-57 is equipped with advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon systems, including long-range air-to-air missiles, high-precision guided bombs, etc.
In addition, its built-in bomb bay design not only improves stealth performance, but also retains a strong firepower output capability. In terms of the comprehensive performance of the weapon system, the Su-57 is gradually narrowing the gap with the world's top fifth-generation aircraft.
But in the current application, what everyone wants to know more is, compared with the weapons of other countries, what is the data? At present, it seems that the potential of the Su-57 and the F-22 is compared with the upgrade potential, and the F-22, as the world's first fifth-generation aircraft put into actual combat, was undoubtedly leading in its design concept and technical level at that time.
However, with the passage of time, the upgrade potential of the F-22 is gradually limited, especially in today's increasingly important information warfare, its sensors, data processing capabilities and other aspects of the shortcomings are becoming more and more prominent, in contrast, the Su-57 as a rising star, at the beginning of the design has fully considered the needs of future wars, so it has a greater advantage in the upgrade potential.
Moreover, from the perspective of cost development, the gap is also relatively large, and the high cost of construction and maintenance of the F-22 has always been a stumbling block for its large-scale installation and continuous upgrades.
The Su-57 is relatively more flexible in terms of cost control, which allows Russia to continuously improve and upgrade it according to its own needs and economic strength, and this cost-effective advantage will give the Su-57 a favorable position in the competition with other fifth-generation aircraft in the long run.
Russia's 5G development still has advantages, so this fighter also has multi-mission capabilities, Su-57 in the design of the emphasis on the importance of multi-mission capabilities, whether it is air superiority operations or ground strike missions, it can show good strength.
This design approach allows the Su-57 to flexibly respond to a variety of complex situations on the battlefield of the future, while the F-22 is seen more as a single-mission platform focused on air superiority operations. As the shape of warfare continues to change, this multi-mission capability of the Su-57 will undoubtedly become more attractive.
Although the Su-57 may not be as good as the J-20 and F-35 and other advanced fifth-generation aircraft in some technical indicators, its unique design concept, strong upgrade potential and cost-effective advantages make it still competitive in future air battles.
In particular, compared with the F-22, the Su-57 has shown a stronger growth momentum in terms of potential, and we have reason to believe that with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous evolution of warfare, the Su-57 will play an increasingly important role in the global air combat arena.
Russia and United States have always been against each other, so they will definitely not take the development of weapons lightly, and what kind of surprises this weapon will bring to everyone after that, please wait and see.
At present, the gap between the data of the Su-57 in all aspects and the United States is not large, and it will continue to develop in the future, so don't feel that they are suppressed by the United States.
