ZHUHAI /China/, November 12. /TASS/. Combat experience of Su-57E fighter jet in high-tech hostilities distinguishes it among fifth-generation fighter jets, Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev said at Airshow China in Zhuhai.

"Su-57E fully meets all requirements to fifth-generation aircraft. Its major competitive advantage is the real combat engagement experience. The Russian Defense Ministry said it excellently performed in combat. The jet is distinguished by powerful weapons with the latest missiles, as well as a high survivability due to low signature and modern onboard defense," he said.

Russia for the first time demonstrates Su-57E and its weapons in Zhuhai. "They include Kh-58UShKE antiradar missile, Grom-E1 guided missile, smart K08BE air bomb and guided UPAB-1500B-E glide bomb. Specialists are mostly interested in the new-generation Kh-69 precision cruise missile," he added.

Su-57E will participate in the flight program of Airshow China.

Su-57 multirole fifth-generation fighter jet was designed to destroy all air, ground, and water surface targets, monitor the airspace at major distances from deployment bases, make adversary headquarters, command posts and control systems inoperative. The jet can engage a broad range of guided and unguided weapons, including air-to-air short, medium and long-range missiles, smart 250, 500 and 1500 kg bombs (the latter from outside suspension). Maximum combat payload is 10 tons. The aircraft stealth characteristics are boosted by the construction shape, as well as reflecting and absorbing coating materials and electronic warfare means. Some weapons are hidden inside the aircraft to decrease signature. The measures weaken the reflected signal and deviate it from the source. Adversary radar does not receive the information on the location and speed of the aircraft. Low signature in the optical band is ensured by digital (pixel) camouflage painting of the aircraft.
