Which is why everyone that was going to order them (India) has greatly pulled back their orders.
Well that and much of the world is pressuring India to move away from Russia.
And I promise you, the F-35 is definitely not bullshit.
I am not saying the F35 isn’t a capable aircraft physically, I consider it a failure at a program level.
I ultimately agree the Su-57 is a vaporwave plane, a glorified demonstrator, but that doesn’t mean the airframe itself isn’t highly capable, rather it makes that potential advantage categorically irrelevant.
When it comes to a F-22 vs Su-57 the idea that there would ever be a fair fight vastly misunderstands the competency mismatch of the militaries that possess them, the difference in performance specs on paper is irrelevant, the Su-57 loses end of story.
