The modernization of the Russian Su-57 fighter has significantly increased its combat potential. This was reported on May 19 by Military Watch Magazine (MWM).

"The changes in the airframe design were probably caused by the need to make more efficient use of the significantly improved flight performance that will be provided by the new AL-51F engines," the publication says.

In addition, according to the publication, the Su-57 probably received an updated radar with an active phased array, which improves tracking of the situation. AI-enabled onboard systems have also been added to simplify pilot training.

On February 11, Indian senior test pilot Ajay Menon stated that the Su-57's capabilities contradict the laws of physics, and other aircraft will not be able to surpass it. In addition, he called the fighter's maneuverability impressive and pointed to its high speed.

Last December, the UAC built and handed over the Su-34 fighter-bomber and the Su-57 fighter to the Russian Defense Ministry. It was clarified that the Su-57 is the best of the Russian tactical aircraft. This aircraft can destroy a wide range of targets because it is equipped with high-precision weapons.
