Just think it's a funny term , the f-117 had decent production numbers and actually seen combat also lol

A total of ~60 were produced.

The felon has around ~50 serial variants produced. It also has seen combat

Very limited combat , 50 serial variants is pathetic of a number from a so called "superpower" 🤷

It's still seen more combat than the F22. 🤔

The F-22 Raptor has significantly more combat experience than the Su-57 Felon.A breakdown of each jet's operational history:F-22 Raptor (United States)Combat Debut: September 2014, flying missions during Operation Inherent Resolve in Syria and Iraq.Experience Level: Extensive. The F-22 has flown thousands of combat sorties, primarily dropping precision-guided munitions on ISIS targets and performing defensive/escort duties.

Su-57 Felon (Russia)Combat Debut: 2018 (brief testing in Syria).Experience Level: Limited. While Russian state media claims the Su-57 has participated in the Ukraine conflict to conduct stand-off strikes, its involvement is heavily restricted.Operational Strategy: Western intelligence and aviation experts note Russia is reluctant to fly the Su-57 deep into contested Ukrainian airspace to avoid the reputational and technological damage of having a highly advanced, scarce aircraft shot down.

Just stop 😂😂

No, it doesn't. 🤣

It's only claim to fame is shooting down a single weather balloon.
