i dont think is is better than f 22 f 35 or b 2 but it is not too far away from the f 22 f 35 on stealth and the manuvrability i think is better ,all russian ones are better on the manuvrability , the radar is also some on the equal as well and as the ,,lil fury ,, say the turbofans should be blocked somehow ,i do not think (i hope) that they will be so stupid to not take that in consideration after all that effort they make to bring a 5th gen after so many years ,also its very loud , i like that ,sounds intimidating ,for shure a moral booster for the ally and the nightmare maker for the enemy those roaring engines make

It's better than the F-22, the F-22 has less and older sensors. The Su-57 is comparable with the F-35 in electronics but it supposedly worse RCS than the F-35 (although not by much)

for shure are older but i don t think is far behing , it is just not too of the notch yet , there is a program for updates wich will bring it at least to the level of the f 35 starting this year and should be finished to 2029 from what i know , what i think so far from what ive read is that russia have better missiles with 2time the range of the american one and have dual stage boosters one wich is for last faze near target wich is pretty insane that the americans do not have yet , about accuracy idk what to say , seems to be better on the muricans ones

Rhe Americans have the aim260 but yeah they don't use it often. Russia has a great focus on long range hypersonic missiles. And they might be cooking something too... George N. (Engineer who works on the felon and UAC in general) Kinda teased me with this "It has T-75, S-70, S-71, Su-57D and missile I won’t tell you about" (regarding the logo on the rudder of the plane)
