Yes? And?
Fighter is not a cellphone model to be "discontinued". Certain fighters production ceased 35 years ago and they still fly.
And Russian main fighter in same role is MiG-31BM. Discontinuned, legacy platform from late 70s. So?

Papadragon wrote this horse shit : There will be no Su-57 for carriers because by the time they build a carrier (unlikely to even happen) that can launch it Su-57 will be ready for decommission.
I was responding to that horse shit.
I think its likely that Russia will have a nuclear carrier by the 2030's. Russia already has the 6th biggest economy, 5th most foreign exchange reserves ect. By then, the multipolar world will be in full swing and Russia will be doing comparatively better than anyone thinks.

They have as much chances of doing this in next couple of decades as they have chances of successfully completing the most basic space project under Rogozin (AKA no chances whatsoever the fuck no way in hell)

The issue is more capacities to build it and money. Not the technology.
They could have an army with 10 000 t-14, 1000 su-57 in theory and a 20 kuznetsov carriers in theory.

Money wont be an issue in 10 years. It isn't now. Its just that Russia is being super conservative and is planning for the monetary reset of the world economy. After the reset, the haves and have nots will not be determined by how close you are to the US empire. It will be determined by sheer productivity and savings. The Ruble wont get pushed around like it does now, despite Russia's strong macro economic data compared to productivity boat anchors like the UK , Canada or any of these dual debtors with no reserves
Russia has the 6th biggest economy by PPP. And the proof that PPP is the accurate number is the fact that Russia also has the 5th most foreign exchange reserves, 5th most gold (more than China) 5th most billionaires and top 5 trade surplus. Russia is just being very conservative. It has no net debt and the lowest debt in the G20. The highest central bank reserves/GDP in the world.
Its never going to compete with China in consumer goods MFG or high precision MFG like Germany. Russia's strength is big projects. Civil nuclear, space, military hardware, infrastructure.
Its funny how in the 90's, China was supposed to overtake Russia in the non western military arms market. And the space market. Then it was supposed to in the early 2000's. And even now, we hear the same tropes about China overtaking Russia these sectors. Russia has been integrating its Soviet strengths into corporate entities. And they keep progressing.

Lipetsk Air Center will receive Su-57 fighters one of the first in the army
"In the near future we will get a new aircraft - Su-57, which is designed to gain dominance in the air," the head of the air center Yuri Sushkov told reporters.
Fighters of the fifth generation of Su-57 in the near future will go to the disposal of experts of the Lipetsk Air Center, which will receive these aircrafts among the first in the army. The head of the air center Yuri Sushkov told journalists about it.
"In the near future we will get a new airplane - Su-57, which is designed to gain dominance in the air," said Lieutenant-General.
Sushkov added that today the air center in Lipetsk is equipped with the best airplanes - Su-35 and Su-30SM.
The Lieutenant-General also recalled that the Lipetsk Air Center is the foremost connection of the Russian military aviation space, fulfilling the most important and responsible tasks of the army command

I am new at this forum and would like to ask a few questions ( maybe some one already answered, but I can not seem to find it), regarding T50/PAKFA/Su57 project.
Can Su57 super cruise whith current engines? If it can, what speed is achieved,and is there any reliable source ?
(there is a video from 2011 where Evgeny Marchukov and Ilja Fedorov claimed that the interim engines (izd 117) for T50 are capable of super cruise).
I also remember interview with Sergey Bogdan, when he was test pilot for Su 35, where he said that he achieved M~1,2 (without afterburner) in clean configuration with 117s. So, it is naturally to assume that Su57 is even better. Of course we are all waiting for izd 30.
Thanks

No reliable sources as of now.
Allegedly in clean configuration Su-35S can supercruise but whats the point if you know what i mean. Also we dont have reliable source for that either, but its plausible.
I assume that Su-57 probably can supercruise too at low supersonic in clean configuration with current engines too. But again there are no reliable sources for such claim just our personal opinions and expectations.
With Izd. 30 its expected from Su-57 to be capable of low supersonic supercruising with load, most likely in A-A loadout.
In early 2019, the Lipetsk 4th Combat Training Center (PSC) will receive two new production Su-57 aircraft.
They will be tested by experienced test pilots, then commanders, pilots and technical personnel for winged vehicles will be trained in the center. Also, the "Aircraft Bible" will be created, which describes all the nuances of his work. According to military experts, the fact of the transfer of fighters to the air center of VKS indicates the imminent adoption of the first Russian fighter of the fifth generation for armament.
Onboard systems for a fighter of the sixth generation will be tested on the Su-57
As told Izvestia to the Defense Ministry, early next year, two serial Su-57 should be transferred to the 4th Center of Combat Training VKS.
Lipetsk Aviation Center is engaged in the development and implementation of new methods of combat use of aircraft systems. Here, the flying and engineering and technical personnel of combat units are retrained to pilot new types of aircraft. Earlier in the center, multifunctional fighters Su-30SM and Su-35S were ridden.
There is a two-stage system for adopting new aircraft in the air defense system:
-First serial copies are received by the 929 State Flight Test Center of the Ministry of Defense (GLITS), which is located in the city of Akhtubinsk in the Astrakhan Region. This stage will be completed before the end of this year.
-After that, the Su-57 will be transferred to the Lipetsk Air Center.
Pilot instructors will first work at the 4th Combat Training Center with the Su-57. They will check the operation of the weapons system, radar stations, and conduct training launches of aviation weapons. Based on the results of the tests, they will have to formulate a combat training program, develop tactical techniques that will make the most effective use of flight characteristics, capabilities of airborne equipment and weapons of new aircraft.
-Only after that in Lipetsk will begin training pilots of the regimental regiments and squadrons.
In Akhtubinsk, testers will conduct research flights on critical regimes. That is, determine when the aircraft can fall into a tailspin, with what maximum speed and overload it can perform maneuvers safely for the pilot. In the course of these tests, once again check the strength of the Su-57 airframe designs.
Based on the results of the running of the Su-57, a flight operation manual (RLE) will be prepared. This set of reference materials and instructions is called the Aircraft Bible. The pilot should know this document almost by heart and strictly observe it. The manual, in particular, describes the scheme of the pilot's actions in the event of a particular incident or emergency situation. The leadership's knowledge has repeatedly saved pilots in critical situations.
Adoption of a new aircraft is a complex multi-stage process, which has a clear order and it must be observed, Izvestia was told by test pilot Hero of Russia Roman Taskaev.
"At first the planes pass the stage of preliminary tests," the expert said. - The developer is responsible for it. At this stage, the aircraft is run by civilian test pilots with the involvement of military aviation specialists. Then the machine is given a VCS.
In the 4th Combat Training Center, the Su-57's combat operation will actually begin, the former commander of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Army, Hero of Russia, Lieutenant-General Valery Gorbenko told Izvestia.
- According to the recommendations of test pilots, minor corrections will be made to the instructions for piloting and combat use. The pilots will also inform their instructors about the design and operation of the aircraft itself. Usually at this stage, a serial production of new cars begins, - he explained.
According to the expert, the process of receiving the Su-57 in other parts of the VCS can take place in parallel. He is sure that only a few months will pass from admission to the pulp and paper plant before the delivery of the aircraft to the aviation units.[/b]
The unofficial information available by now would point the PAK-FA to be capable of low-supersonic cruise with the current engines, similarly to Su-35 and considering that the frontal area is little smaller, weight is higher and dry thrust also slightly higher.eulereix wrote:Hello
