Su-57 Leak
Su-57 Leak, there have been reports of a leak regarding the Su-57, Russia's fifth-generation stealth fighter. The leaked information was allegedly posted on the War Thunder forum. However, it is important to note that the authenticity and accuracy of the leaked documents have not been verified. Here is what we know based on the available information:
- The leaked document on the War Thunder forum is claimed to be about the Su-57, but it is actually an old document on the MiG-29, not the Su-57.
- The Su-57 has faced production problems, which were severe enough for India to drop out of a program to develop a derivative of the Su-57 for the Indian Air Force. Russia is now ordering only 76 Su-57s.
- The Su-57 is Russia's second fifth-generation fighter, arriving 11 years after the debut of the Sukhoi Su-57 heavy fighter.
- The Su-57 is touted to have low radar signatures in various bands, a high thrust-to-weight ratio, a large weapon payload, and advanced air-launched armaments.
- The leaked information suggests that the Su-57's stealth capabilities, which rely on the plane's radar cross-section, are inferior to those of the US F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.
It is important to approach leaked information with caution, as its accuracy and reliability cannot be guaranteed.
