MOSCOW, Aug 25 - RIA News. The Su-57 fighter is the pride of the VKS, it has no analogues in the world, said test pilot, Hero of Russia Yuri Vashchuk in an interview with the weekly Zvezda .
“In addition to the minimum visibility for radars in all wavelengths, including infrared and radar, the aircraft has super maneuverability and the ability to evade enemy attacks at supersonic speed without afterburner. Plus, the aircraft is multifunctional and can solve both the tasks of gaining superiority in air and work on ground and surface targets, "said Vashchuk.
He added that, in addition, the qualities of Russian pilots should be taken into account, in particular, their decisiveness and desperation, as well as skill.
“If our pilots could show real miracles of heroism on plywood planes during the last war, then imagine what they can do on such a machine! I do not advise anyone to experience the power of the Russian SU-57 in their own skin!” - emphasized the pilot.
Vashchuk also said that work to build up the combat capabilities of the latest fighter still does not stop.

On a carrier it could work but not safe at all.

Its low speed handling capabilities show that it should not be to difficult to modify for it.
The only issue that would require more work would be the foldable wings, to reduce the space used on deck.
Even if they were capable to land in the space of the landing strip on kutsnetov's flight deck (deploying the shutes), I do not see the sense in operating air force versions of the Su-57(without tailhook and foldable wings) from a carrier, unless it was for an emergency.

Seems me quite different: Su-57 comes down to an high AoA and touch the ground quite violently, at the point it have to make an extensive use of the tails and ailerons, such planes seems in comparison to have a very much smooth landing.

I rather suspect it could land on grass as well if need be... Il-76s could when under 200 tons all up weight...
