A video has emerged purportedly showing two Su-57s operating from Russia’s Khmeimim Airbase in Syria. If genuine, the video will have documented the fifth-generation fighter’s first combat drill. https://www.rt.com/news/419566-su-57-russian-jet-syria-video/ |

Can the engines of the Su-57 be repaired in the field, or must they be sent back to Sukhoi for repairs? |

Well, I hope it is true. I would not have thought that Russia would put their new bird in such a radar and intel gathering saturated environment. Then again, it might be a good test for the new airframes so I can't say that I blame them. |

Prototypes... Still in operational testing... you have 10 Prototypes...One that was heavily damaged in a fire, and have had them testing for 10 years. Operational units wont be around for years... ansd India gets a bunch of the first batch as well... So really...The SU-57 is just being tested for Radar Cross Section in a combat environment.. They are a decade or more from actual full unit deployment... |

The Engines most likely have to go back to Sukhoi for repairs and rebuilds |

Sounds like our great F-35, but the SU-57 costs 1/3 to build........

Plane crash is quite frequent inside Russia. I am surprised they haven't blame the West yet. |
