Su 57 deal on the agenda for Modi Putin Meet

[HERO]

Strictly speaking, the Su-57 is not a true fifth-generation fighter! Even if its maneuverability is excellent, it can basically be ignored in front of modern missiles! This is the era of beyond-visual-range combat. Comparing an aircraft's maneuverability with that of a missile? There's no comparison at all!

But does this give modi the ability to brag to his low IQ audience? Yes

Countries give Modi 'awards' just like countries give trump 'awards' and priviledges because they see them as narcissistic leaders with low IQ. Once they hand out the award of retardness, they get a lot of kickbacks so its so easy for countries to deal with these morons.

We will get a sense of it once Algeria fields both Su-57 and J-10c under the watchful eye of KJ-500.

It has been said that Su-57's weapon bay has difficulty operating at supersonic speeds due to the aerodynamics of the central lift body. The only time you see an R-77M is on the external pylon of the Su-57.
