The T-50, also known as the Su-57, is the most modern, but also the most classified Russian 5th generation airplane.
Any information about it that gets in the hands of the media is an event, if not a sensation.
The viewers of Combat Approved will see one of these very events. We’ll dedicate 3 whole episodes to this amazing fighter. And these are not just films about a plane: this is the first encyclopedia about PAK FA – prospective aeronautical complex of front-line air forces – in the history of TV. To create it, the journalists spent 2 years.
During that, Combat Approved has visited all the plants and Design Bureaus that take part in development of the Su-57: from Moscow and Saint Petersburg to Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
For the first time, they’ve shown the journalists how they apply the stealth coating, how the composite polymer material looks like, which they make the plane of, and how they test this material. In addition: for the first time in history, they gave the journalists the right to install the cameras right into the hull of the Su-57.
That means that the viewers of Combat Approved will see truly spectacular footage of the new fighter’s flight, including the one in the most extreme modes.

Estes brasileiros são de morrer a rir...

De qualquer forma, os russos têm que dizer qualquer coisa.

Isto lembra, o Hitler, naquele filme "A Queda" quando fala ao general Von Greim, a dizer-lhe que ele foi promovido a chefe supremo da Luftwaffe, (creio que a 25 ou 26 de Abril)  que vai ter acesso a mil dos novos caças Me-262 a jato.
Von Greim suicidou-se um mês depois, em território controlado pelos americanos.


A única arma aérea que neste momento a Russia tem, com alguma capacidade, são os drones dos aiatolás iranianos.
Os Su-34, já lá vão vinte. O último, matou quinze russos, quando se despenhou contra um prédio habitacional

Faz também lembrar os carros de combate de infantaria.
Aqui há uns meses foi o "Terminator" ... Com grande gloria e raça, avançava vencedor pelos campos de batalha defendendo a mãe russia dos cães nazistas ucranianos.

Depois da primeira experiência em que caiu vítima de um tiro certeiro da artilharia fornecida pelos americanos ...
Nunca mais se ouviu falar dele.

Serial Production of Super cruising Su-57 with Stage 2 Engine Started in Early 2023

Ten Su-57 fighters delivered to the RuAF in 2023 were powered by Stage 2 Izdeliye 30 engines, according to a TASS source.

All Su-57 aircraft delivered in 2024 will feature the Stage 2.

The Stage 2 engine features serrated exhaust nozzle, also referred to as chevron nozzle, which improves thrust efficiency, stability, maneuverability and performance, while reducing engine noise. Most importantly, serrated exhaust nozzles can contribute to reduction in infrared (IR) and radar signatures of the aircraft. By altering the exhaust plume's temperature distribution and shape, serrated nozzles can make the fighter harder for IR and radar sensors to detect and track the aircraft.

According to the Wikipedia, the Stage 2 engine offers 11 tonnes (107.9 kN) dry and 17 tonnes (167 kN) in afterburner.

The Stage 1 L-41F1 produces 9 tonnes (88.3 kN) of dry thrust and 14.5 tonnes (142.2 kN) of thrust in afterburner.
 
A Su-57 powered by the Stage 2 engine can supercruise at Mach 1.5 to Mach 1.6.

 All production Su-57 fighters transferred to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) in 2024 will receive second-stage engines. This was reported to TASS by two high-ranking sources close to the Russian Aerospace Forces.

“The engine of the second stage has been tested and is ready for operation,” said one of the agency’s interlocutors. The second source confirmed this information and added that “all production fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft transferred to the Aerospace Forces in 2024 will receive a fifth-generation engine.”

TASS does not have official confirmation of this information.

According to the agency’s interlocutor, in 2023, more than 10 Su-57s with first-stage engines have already been transferred to the Aerospace Forces. They successfully solve problems in the special military operation zone. “There are no plans to replace the first-stage engines on the Su-57s already transferred to the Aerospace Forces with new engines,” he said, explaining that even with the first-stage engine, the Su-57 surpasses the American F-35 in its characteristics.

Earlier, specialists from the A. M. Lyulka Design Bureau explained that the first stage engine provides the Su-57 with such characteristics as super-maneuverability, thrust-to-weight ratio, and low visibility. Another advantage is the oxygen-free plasma ignition system of the main and afterburner combustion chambers.
