The Su-57 stealth fighter proved its effectiveness during a special operation.

The fifth-generation Russian fighter Su-57, belonging to the class of "invisible", proved its effectiveness during a special military operation. This was reported by TASS on June 16.

The secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, said that the Su-57 "performed brilliantly" during the special operation. His assessment was confirmed by Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation, noting that the aircraft demonstrated effectiveness in countering modern Western-made air defense systems, including Patriot, NASAMS and IRIS-T complexes.

In addition, as the agency points out, the Su-57 is capable of detecting objects hundreds of kilometers around itself, providing full visibility and control of airspace. The fighter is equipped with stealth technology and a modern on-board radar with an active phased array antenna and additional antennas distributed throughout the fuselage.

Also on June 2, Rostec said that the Su-57 multirole fighters are capable of controlling aerial combat, while remaining unnoticed by enemy radars. In addition, incoming aircraft demonstrate high efficiency in the combat zone.
