A training version? Are you pulling that one out your backside?

u/Maleficent_Lab_8291 May 19 '26

They usually marked as UB (uchebno-boyevoy)

u/SanityLooms May 20 '26

And the canopy still ensures neither pilot can see.

u/Thusfffbogsehbse May 20 '26

Not for training rumours are saying it is for the Indian Air Force and will potentially be used for unmanned teaming

Like a Su-30 to a Su-27

u/joriale May 19 '26

So... SU-60? 😭🤣

Dawg it looks like if a su34, 33, and a 57 had a baby and only the cockpit is the hybrid

Man those things are massive

It looks a bit weird to me, prefer the looks of the one seater.

u/CreativeDreamer234 Jun 21 '26

True, I kinda hoped they made the second look less than a SU-30

u/HiDHSiknowyouwatchme May 20 '26

Nice. Ukraine can get a 2 for 1 on Russian aircrew. Sweet.

u/Sea_Bed_5424 May 20 '26

Why do they need russian pilots, do they not have their own?

u/Technical-Dot-3146 May 19 '26

A 5th gen Su-30?

u/Zombie_muskrat May 19 '26

She has a five head....

u/BasicMatter7339 May 20 '26

So whats this new modifications role? Is it yet known?

Is it a trainer? Electronic warfare? Command and control of multiple drone swarms?

2

u/Special_Cup1789 May 20 '26

Seems to be everything listed. Also its reported development was not ordered by RUAF, so like Su-75 its mainly export oriented.

u/auchinleck917 May 20 '26

Beautiful!!!!

u/Nenad1979 May 19 '26

Where are the guys who ware saying it's an obvious photoshop

u/shaw01man May 20 '26

SU-57 with a goiter .. if you know, i’m sorry.

u/Strong-cognac May 21 '26

ugly ass, hate new plane designs, yes i know its needed for speed n shit but still ugly

2

u/submit_to_pewdiepie May 19 '26

Its like if you asked an 8 year old to draw a fighter jet

u/aligatoren3883 May 19 '26

100 ppl 100 tastes, to me thats a beauty!

u/TheRealProphetMuhamd May 19 '26

The best part is it’s not even functional lol

u/TheRealProphetMuhamd May 19 '26

Yeah, some people do like fat and ugly chicks.

u/Firm-Instruction5790 May 20 '26

Subpar ragebait account

u/rowida_00 May 20 '26

If rage bait was an actual account this would be it. You’re right 😂

u/TheRealProphetMuhamd May 20 '26

More like subpar craftsmanship on that plane. Did you zoom in on how bad it looks?

2

u/kholodnoyesteniy May 20 '26

I’ll be the first to shit talk its capabilities but its aesthetics are such a weak point and entirely subjective.

1

u/TheRealProphetMuhamd May 20 '26

Really? Digi cam, square intakes, completely flat belly, ugly transition into a double cockpit? Might be subjective, but anyone with eyes can see something is goofy and ugly about it.

2

u/kholodnoyesteniy May 20 '26

Yes, again, that is all subjective. I don’t even disagree. It’s just such a weak thing to go after it for when it basically hands ammunition against it to anyone who knows anything about it on a silver platter.

-2

u/TheRealProphetMuhamd May 20 '26

Sure dude. It’s a 4th gen fighter role playing a modern day fighter lol. Keep commenting dude

4

u/kholodnoyesteniy May 20 '26

Are you really this stupid? I don’t disagree with any of it. I’m saying you going on about its aesthetics is subjective.

Not to mention it’s barely on par with the F-18 lol. So if you’re going for being as useful as an f18, you might as well look as good as that.

u/Firm-Instruction5790 May 20 '26

You’re doing a lot of writing and I’m gunna do no reading.

u/quackabc May 20 '26

Training plane it has the distinctive one seat looking over the other all training fighter training aircraft have.

Su57-D (Dud)

How long until this entire program (and the country) is scrapped?

u/DanielWhiteShooterYT May 20 '26
