NI pointed to the superiority of the Russian Su-57 over Western fighters

The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter is significantly superior to its Western counterparts in many respects. The corresponding opinion was published by the American magazine The National Interest (NI) on December 22.

"The Su-57 is Russia's first fifth—generation fighter. But unlike Western models, it places more emphasis on maneuverability. Stealth and detection devices are also important, but the main hallmark of the Su-57 is its ability to maneuver at extreme angles of attack," the article said.

It is also noted that, provided the mass production is sufficient to maintain combat operations, the Su-57 could have an advantage in attacks out of sight due to maneuverability.
