Well differences apart, USA military equipment is still most reliable and modern in the world far ahead of what China and Russia are producing. Gulf countries from day one have not focused on developing military themselves rather they still rely on USA for all there defense. USA is in every gulf country for there defense like Doha, Kuwait, KSA. You cant just have a strong defense by buying expensive weapons from west, it takes years of hard work and indigenization.

Not quite sure about that. Recently Russia has been able to produce quality defense equipment at fraction of the price that the Americans pay for their equipment. One good example is that of the S-500 air defense system. It is cheaper than the American Patriot system, and much more inexpensive. The same can be said about the ICBMs as well. SS-18 Satan remains the most powerful ballistic missile manufactured till date. And I believe that Russia has also won the competition for the fifth-generation fighter aircraft. The Sukhoi Su-57 is rumored to be much more capable when compared to Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

Su-57 is an excellent fifth generation fighter, thrust vectoring engines allow it to perform incredible aerobatics, such as a flat spin (however, the Su-35S can do this, albeit not with such ease). A very beautiful aircraft, it is currently being tested in combat conditions in Ukraine as part of a flight of four fighters that operate in a coordinated network as one. The ability of the Su-57 to maneuver is incredible and seems to be limited only by the ability of the pilots to physically withstand the resulting G-forces.

Your humor is amazing as always! And most importantly, so seriously, some may even decide that you are telling the truth Grin

Aerobatics, in battle it is of course very beautiful ... The pilots will go to the "other world" beautifully

The problem is that the "vaunted" SU-57 has nothing to do with 5th generation combat aircraft, and does not have any advantages , in front of high-tech Western-style aircraft, even 4 or 4+ generations! SU-57 in real combat operations will be destroyed long before it can identify enemy aircraft. This is a fact

Yes, and the concept of air combat in Russia is a close battle by analogy with the battles of the Second World War. In Ukraine, "unparalleled" SU and MIGs are even shot down by obsolete Stingers, which is why the aviation of the "second most powerful army in the world" is primitively afraid to fly into the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine with "completely destroyed air defense and aviation." Don't believe? Listen to the Russian General Staff - a great comedy show!

Well, some information about this "classic Russian" anal-shit"

Do not be surprised by this definition - in Russian the words "no analogues", when pronounced, turn into reality, which in recent years the Russians themselves have called all their "unique new weapons - and this is exactly "anal - shit" (there are no analogues -> analog shit)

So:
1. To date, since 2010, only 9 flying, flight prototypes have been released. Only 10 but 1 of them is for ground testing
2. Engine. The one that will, according to the fantasies of the developers, make it possible to perform turns and other circus exercises. He's NOT READY! His working sample is NOT! They already tried to put it into operation in 2016, when real samples of the SU-57 were supposed to be on duty, and in 2017, and every year they promised - "for sure next year." But, like everything in Russia, these are just promises

For today, the latest OFFICIAL information is this: "The fifth-generation Su-57 fighter from 2027 will go to the troops with a new engine." This is if Russia remains on the map until 2027, which is in doubt

PS The other day another SS was shot down (not SU57, don't go gray

), the pilot was taken prisoner. He was lucky - the parachute was laid by members of the PMC Wagner, so it opened up, most of the pilots of the regular army of Russia - the parachutes do not open

So - professional pilots in Russia are running out, you have to attract PMCs, guess where the pilots of the Russian military comic forces have gone?
