Su-57 Stealth Fighter: News #8

Modern technologies allow Russian pilots to quickly master the Su-57 fighter

The control system installed in the fighter, which has adaptive properties, ensures comfortable and safe piloting, said the commander of the Air Force Sergey Dronov.

MOSCOW, August 12. /tass/. Russian pilots are quickly mastering the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter thanks to modern technologies and software and mathematical support. This was announced by the commander of the Russian Air Force, Deputy Commander-in - Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Sergei Dronov, in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper published on Friday.

"Thanks to modern technologies and software and mathematical support, the flight crew quickly learns the aircraft, easily adapts to the new tasks that it is able to perform. In the near future, the young flight crew will also start studying the aircraft, which in the future will have to fully realize the inherent combat potential of the Su-57 aircraft, " Dronov said.

He also noted that the integrated control system installed in the fighter, which has adaptive properties, provides comfortable and safe piloting in a wide range of altitudes and flight speeds. At the same time, the pilot can pay more attention to navigation tasks, information exchange and work with the weapons complex.

At the moment, in order to gain experience in developing methodological manuals in piloting, navigation and combat use, the flight crew is conducting pilot operation of the Su-57 fighter, Dronov added.

The Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-role fighter designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets. It has supersonic cruising speed, in-fuselage armament, radio-absorbing coating, as well as the latest complex of avionics. By the end of 2024, the Russian Aerospace Forces will receive 22 Su-57s, and by 2028 their number will be increased to 76. The first fighter entered the army in 2020.

PJSC "UAC"
UAC is increasing its production capacity to increase the mass production of 5th-generation fighters.

On August 19, a groundbreaking ceremony for new facilities intended for testing Su-57 systems and equipment was held on the territory of the Yuri Gagarin KnAAZ flight test station.

The expansion of the production base of the flight test station of the aviation plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur involves the construction of a number of new facilities. First of all, a boathouse for testing avionics, a fuel box and a motor test station will be put into operation. Their construction is carried out at the expense of the United Aircraft Corporation.

At the groundbreaking ceremony of new buildings in celebration of the Day of the Russian Air Fleet and the 88th anniversary of the formation of the Yuri Gagarin Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant, a commemorative capsule with a message to future generations of aircraft manufacturers in Komsomolsk-on-Amur was placed in the foundation of one of the buildings.

In addition, KnAAZ will reconstruct its production facilities and expand production as part of the program to increase serial production of 5th-generation fighters. These works will be implemented with funds from the federal budget.

"With the support of the state, a new building of the flight test station for the Su-57, the third stage of electroplating production will be built on the territory of the Yu. A. Gagarin KnAAZ, and a major reconstruction of the facilities for mechanical processing and heat treatment will begin," said Alexander Pekarsh, Director of the Yu. A. Gagarin KnAAZ.

report on the deployment of serial production of the Su-57 at the plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Bonus: the Su-35S production line allows you to produce more than 30 aircraft per year.

30 per year is a lot.
Especially if we consider that it is just one line of a particular plant, that runs other lines same time.
Add to that quite potent Su-34 production, Su-57 that will be gaining speed, Su-30 that is still running, Su-27SM3 that is on it's way, MiGs production caps that exist ... and it turns out that the Russkie can put a 100+ planes yearly, easily. And that is not a big deal for them, oh no ...

That is >500 new planes in the last decade.
With military spending on pair with France/UK.
That is about the production rate of the Eurofighter in the last 30 years.
If that does not ring a bell what an actual level of corruption in the west is then nothing will

The UAC said that the Su-57 can take on some of the functions of the pilot.

Including-training of weapons
MOSCOW, September 2. /tass/. Intellectualization of the systems of the fifth-generation Su-57 combat aircraft allows it to take on some of the functions of a pilot, including piloting and preparing for the use of weapons. This was stated during a lecture tour by Yuri Slyusar, General Director of UAC (United Aircraft Corporation, part of Rostec), as part of the Znanie marathon.

"Another feature that will become more and more significant over time, which will determine the face of not only fifth-generation aircraft, but also subsequent generations , is, of course, high intellectualization of the board, high automation. In fact, the plane [Su-57] is such a "co-pilot" along with the computer that stands on it, which allows the pilot to focus on performing critical functions. The plane takes over piloting, preparing for the use of weapons, and so on, " he said.

As Alexander added during the tour (last name is not given-approx. TASS), an employee of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Su-57 is distinguished from the previous generation of aircraft by the ability to maintain high speed when performing tasks. "If a fourth-generation aircraft lives at subsonic speed most of the time and goes out to perform specific combat missions at supersonic flight speed, then this aircraft is designed for most of its 'life' at supersonic flight speeds, "he said. According to the representative of the Design Bureau, there are no analogues of the Su-57 in Russia, and there are a limited number of them in the world. At the same time, he stressed, the Su-57 is currently undergoing changes, acquiring new properties.

The Su-57 is designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets. The aircraft has supersonic cruising speed, in-fuselage armament, radio-absorbing coating (stealth technology), as well as the latest complex of avionics.

MOSCOW, September 2. /tass/. The capabilities of the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter make it possible to "do everything in the air". This was stated by a test pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau (part of the UAC of Rostec State Corporation). Raphael Suleymanov on Friday during a lecture tour within the framework of the "Knowledge" marathon.

"Piloting this aircraft is very pleasant and comfortable. It allows you to perform everything in the air. These capabilities, coupled with powerful weapons that allow you to perform tasks both in the air and on the ground, in all weather conditions, day and night, in all latitudes, make it a very powerful weapon in the hands of pilots," said the test pilot.

Suleymanov also noted that the generations of Su aircraft are very similar to each other. Pilots who fly the Su-35 will be able to fly the fifth-generation fighter without difficulty.

Sixth-generation aircraft will be combined with unmanned and ground-based systems

UAC General Director Yuri Slyusar said that the Su-57 fighter is a step towards the sixth generation of aircraft, on the basis of which this family can be developed.
MOSCOW, September 2. /tass/. The sixth-generation combat aircraft will be a network-centric system linked to drones, space and ground-based systems. This was stated during a lecture tour by Yuri Slyusar, General Director of UAC (United Aircraft Corporation, part of Rostec), as part of the Znanie marathon.

"When we talk about the sixth generation, we say that this is no longer a separate aircraft, < ... > but a whole system of interaction between air, space, land, drones, manned vehicles," he said.

According to the head of the UAC, the Su-57 fighter is a step in the direction of sixth-generation aircraft, on the basis of which this family can be developed.

thanks for source LMFS but it gets depressing having to see different tass articles mention more than 5 times that the Su-57 has a co-pilot and all that shit like its brand new information all the time but its just the same exact shit that even I no longer bother posting anymore new Su-57 news articles here knowing they will just put repetitive shit that we all already know about. I miss the 2014 Rostec article that stated himalayas EW would have GaN MMICs, or the diagram images of the 3 stream cycle engines, even some updates on the internal hypersonic air to ground missiles, new air to air missiles, or new avionic changes would have been good info. Nothing against you but just the news agencies posting information.
