Their aircraft are the same way.  Dozens of different variants and only building a few of each.

Ironically, the Nazis did the same thing. That worked out well for them.

They should keep wearing them. Let he U.S. politicians bitch and whine at the Indians about the swastika they've been using for forever in their country.

Besides, it was well established several hundred pages ago that Nazi is the term the Russians use for anyone against Russia, so it wouldn't matter if they quit using it, they'd just say that the are still Nazi's and ask If they weren't Nazi's why did they change? You changed because now you're trying to hide the fact you're a Nazi.

Honestly, I'm appalled and embarrassed at how ignorant our politicians are. When I laugh at the stupid shit the Russians say, I remember the stupid shit that our politicians say, like Guam capsizing and the slave trade changing sharks migratory routes and quit laughing.

I don't know how this country is going to survive having so many people dumb enough to elect these ass clowns.

Body panels are beat to fit then paint to match. Not all that stealthy, maneuverable though in a very different way compared to an F-22. Seeing them in flight it's a little hard to describe. I use the metaphor that an F-22 flies in a quantum superposition. You want to go somewhere and the flight computers will do their best to get you there without exceeding 9G. An Su-57 can do similar moves. But the pilot has to work harder to get the plane there.

Either way the Su-57 would not be a war winning weapon. Especially not this war. Even if the Russians had a couple of squadrons of F-22s I don't think that would tip the scales.

The SU-57 did not have S-shaped engine inlet ducts, like all other stealth aircraft, so the turbine blades would have created quite the frontal signature. My understanding is that it was designed to be used more perpendicular to incoming aircraft, where it could use its flank radar array and the reduced side radar signature combined with 'notching' to minimize detection. Evidently not a great strategy, since even India didn't buy it in favor of 4.5gen Rafale's.

They aren't really stealthy if you know what to look for.




Plus commercial Synthetic Aperature Radar from Capella satellite can see them too.



Cross tapping screws aren't really stealthy either.



Yea, that's stealthy for the underside.

I expect it’s accurate to say that air superiority fighters aren’t war winning weapons unless you can use air superiority to gain a massive advantage over your enemy.

Russia’s air power is not proving decisive here, so high performance air superiority fighters are of limited use to them right now.

Cancer might just be a part of his issues.

Looks more like Parkinson's.

Reminds me of Hitler greeting Hitler Youths while his one hand shaking badly behind him.

Well... That's not good.

Wise to check ones ammo supply when that term gets thrown around.

Clayhollister or something but ya he's in every Ukraine thread trashing Ukraine. And sugar coating anything russia. I've found it quite odd myself.  But he says he doesn't care about either of them but he is in EVERY dang thread pertaining to this conflict

I doubt there is any connection, I’m not a fan of that guy but honestly given his post count I doubt he has any time to do anything besides voice terrible opinions on arfcom. 25k in less than 2 years.

His name is just lifted from an old western TV show.

Su-75/Checkmate is fucked.

Only Argentina might be interested because they can't get anything with western equipment. Maybe some of Russia's few allies, like Syria will get it. I think most countries in the middle like Vietnam and India will feel pressure to buy more from the west.
