It's not the “菊花” of a fighter jet that I want to know about. I want to know about the thing in the red circle in the picture below.

I'd like to know what other fighters have this on their asses.

What even is that?

Looks like a UV MAWS sensor.

Rear view sensor.

Rear view sensor.

I thought it is an IIR-missile approach sensor

By the way, what about these claims, Russia has signed a first contract at Zhuhai for the Su-57E?

So far I found it only on the typical unreliable sites often posting any rumour as a fact just to gain attention!

From this blog. China as first export customer? How likely is it?

Is the transaction of pterosaur X successful?

The possibility of selling the entire aircraft is zero. The Russian aircraft does not match the existing Chinese fighter system, data is not interconnected, and the weapon system is isolated.The engine transaction is unknown. It is said that the earliest batch of J20s were equipped with Russian engines. Perhaps it is possible that these early J20s will have their engines replaced?

"the military-technical cooperation system should bring new models of weapons and military equipment to the market. The su-57- by the way, we already have the first contracts signed for this aircraft" said the head of the company, Alexander mikheyev, in an interview with the Rossiya 1 TV channel today. It's either China or Algeria. I have no idea. It's just rumor at this point.

The IIR-missile approach sensor will only be mounted on one. the J-15 series is mounted on the vertical tail.


If you look closely, you will see Rear view sensor on both sides of the tailbone.

By the way, what about these claims, Russia has signed a first contract at Zhuhai for the Su-57E?

There is no official news on this.

No.
I think China would be more than happy to buy 6-10 Su-57's if Russia is willing to do so. 2 of them for dismantling research and 4-8 for PLAAF Blue Force units.
It's a very good deal.

If China is buying more Su-57s, it's purely to support Russia, and it's bound to have some sort of political deal behind it.

Interfax just upadated:

"Рособоронэкспорт" сообщил о первых контрактах на экспорт истребителей Су-57

Рособоронэкспорт сообщил, что подписаны первые контракты на поставку истребителей пятого поколения Су-57 за рубеж

www.interfax.ru

So maybe indeed true!

Well, that blog is one of the typical unreliable chills ... so maybe we need to wait, but at least interfax is now online too.
