The Su-57, the most advanced combat aircraft in the Russian fleet and a fifth-generation fighter, has just been officially delivered to the Russian Air Force. On Monday (11), Rostec, a Russian state-owned technology and defense company, announced the delivery of the feared model to the Russian Ministry of Defense, strengthening the country's military capabilities and bringing new perspectives to national security.
Described as “best in class,” the Su-57 is a fifth-generation fighter produced by the United Aeronautics Corporation (OAK) and features advanced technological capabilities that set it apart on the world stage.
According to Sergei Chemezov, Rostec’s general director, the Su-57 has a powerful combination of endurance, stealth and high-precision detection technology. Its sophisticated defense system, coupled with state-of-the-art radars, makes it “fearsome” and especially challenging for opposing forces.
Designed for missions ranging from aerial combat to surveillance operations and attack on ground targets, the Su-57 stands out for its ability adaptation. Rostec representatives stated that the aircraft can be “improved based on combat experience,” ensuring that the Su-57 continually evolves with new capabilities and technologies.

The evolution of the Su-57 and the expansion of the Russian fleet
The arrival of the Su-57 strengthens Russia's air fleet, which already had models such as the fourth-generation Su-35S, known for its versatility in combat.
In May, the Russian Aerospace Forces received a second batch of Su-35S, confirming the country’s commitment to technological advancement in its armed forces. Now, with the delivery of the Su-57, Russia’s capabilities are expanding into a new dimension of aerial combat.
Mass production of the Su-57 is also aimed at meeting growing international demand. During the Airshow China 2024, held from November 12 to 17 in Zhuhai, in China's Guangdong province, the Su-57 will be displayed to potential foreign buyers, highlighting global interest in Russia's technological prowess.
Main features of the Su-57
The Su-57 incorporates a number of advances that justify its position as Russia's most feared fifth-generation fighter. Among its main features are:
Stealth Technology: Designed to be difficult to detect, the Su-57 has a reduced radar signature and aerodynamics that minimize its visibility to enemy radars.
High maneuverability: Equipped with state-of-the-art engines and precise flight control, the Su-57 is capable of performing complex maneuvers in combat, increasing its effectiveness in both aerial confrontations and evasion operations.
Advanced sensors: The fighter has state-of-the-art optical and infrared sensors, as well as an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar system, which allows for more effective detection of threats in multiple directions.
Armament capabilities: The Su-57 is designed to carry a wide range of armaments, including long-range missiles, guided bombs and cannons, ensuring its versatility in offensive operations.
Artificial intelligence: Incorporating artificial intelligence systems, the Su-57 facilitates process automation and provides greater operational efficiency, allowing the pilot to focus on critical aspects of combat.
The “Wings of Victory”
Sergei Chemezov said the Su-57 is part of Russia’s “wings of victory,” reinforcing its key role in the country’s defense and security. With more units scheduled for delivery by the end of the year, the Su-57 is expected to not only expand Russia’s fleet but also raise the global standard for fifth-generation fighters.
The presence of the Su-57 at Airshow China 2024 demonstrates the export potential of this fighter, reinforcing Russia's position in the advanced military technology market.
Delivery of the Su-57 to the Russian army marks a new chapter in the history of fifth-generation fighters, consolidating Russia as a technological power in the air field and strengthening its capabilities to face future challenges.
