The U.S. called the Su-57's performance in the course of the SWOT effective
The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet has proven its effectiveness during a special military operation (SMO). Brandon Weichert, a columnist for the US magazine The National Interest (TNI), said on December 3.
"The Su-57 performed well in combat, especially in strikes from over the horizon, where NATO-provided air defense systems to Ukraine cannot pose a threat to the Su-57," he wrote.
The columnist added that Russia "has a real revolutionary system in the form of the Su-57."
The Su-57 is Russia's fifth-generation multifunctional fighter. It is designed with the use of stealth technologies and is capable of engaging any enemy fighters, as well as destroying enemy ground and surface targets.
Earlier, on November 14, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu said that the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter shows excellent performance in the NWO zone.
Before that, on November 11, Rostec State Corporation handed over another batch of new Su-57 and Su-35 aircraft to the Russian Air and Space Forces (AFS). At the same time, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov said that the Su-57 will be presented at the international aerospace exhibition Airshow China 2024, which will be held in Zhuhai from November 12 to 17.
On Nov. 7, Chemezov noted the Russian fighter's effectiveness against Western surface-to-air missile systems, including Patriot, NASAMS and IRIS. He also said that the fifth-generation Su-57E fighter is capable of employing a wide range of guided precision-guided weapons, including X-69 cruise missiles. According to him, the machine has a high export potential and arouses great interest among specialists and foreign customers.
On August 5, Rostec said that the Russian Su-57 is superior to the US F-16 fighters delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
