ZHUHAI /China/, November 14. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu has stated that Russia’s Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet has been displaying outstanding performance in the zone of the special military operation since its first combat use.
"A wonderful aircraft that has been performing impressively. Already in its first combat use, it performed exceptionally well," Shoigu told a test pilot.
A Su-57 multirole fifth-generation fighter jet (NATO codename Felon) was designed to eliminate all air, ground, and water surface targets. The aircraft has a supersonic cruising speed, inboard armament, radar-absorbing coating (stealth technology), as well as a cutting-edge set of onboard equipment. The advanced intellectualization of Su-57 systems allows it to take on some of the pilot’s functions, including flight control and preparations for employing weapons.
