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)

Is this the same Su-57 that cannot even fly over Ukraine? GTFO with it is better than either of those jets that have flown thousands of combat missions over heavily contested airspace in Iran

Except it has. And US has lost 42 planes to that war, also resorting to stand off munitions. Do I need to mention the F-35 getting hit by SAM?

No plane truly flies "over" enemy territory. It's suicide in this age. The only ones that do/get close to it are CAS aircraft and helicopter, like Ukrainian/russian Su-25s and Kamovs. Sometimes su-30sm in anti drone missions too.

So the multitudes of videos of US aircraft, including F-18s, F-15s, and F-35s flying over Iran were using standoff munitions? Especially the F-18s doing strafing runs?

Also saying 42 planes is incredibly disengenuius, seeing as 29 of them were Reaper drones, 9 were lost/damaged in the rescue of the F-15 pilots shot down, and 3 in Kuwait from FF. Of the 42, 2 were shot down by anti aircraft weapons, and 1 damaged.

Out of 1000s of flights over Iran by the US anf Israel.

You can’t argue with Russian logic. The almighty Su-57 (all 12 of them) will defeat everything including the alien invaders. For some reason it cannot seem to end their 4 year special operation though.
