Russian VCS received a batch of the latest Su-57 fighters-Osint (photo)

To spread: Two new boards of Russian Su-57 fighters with rooms "25" and "26" were noticed at the Novosibirsk airline in Novosibirsk. The air cosmic forces (PCS) of the Russian Federation probably received a new batch of multi-purpose fifty fighters of the fifth generation of Su-57. This is evidenced by the photos published by @la_souris_da, which recorded two planes with onboard numbers "25" Red (RF-81796) and "26" Red (RF-81797).

According to preliminary information, the pictures were taken on the territory of Novosibirsk Aviation Plant. Chkalova-it is where the serial production of SU-57 fighters is carried out. Meanwhile, official comments from the Joint Aviation Corporation (UAC) and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation have not yet been received.

In this regard, "miller" observers write that we can talk about previously not illuminated specimens from parties in 2024, although it is possible that these are new machines that have come to the PCS of the Russian Federation as part of the next delivery. So, in November and December last year, the OAC press service reported the transfer of new SU-57 to the troops, but then only one fighter appeared in the video materials.

The Russian multi-purpose Su-57 (Felon codification) is a fifth-generation aircraft developed under the PACE FA program of the Sukhoy Design Bureau. Its main purpose is to conquer the advantage in the air, to strike for land and maritime purposes, as well as to conduct radio electronic struggle. The technical characteristics of the SU-57 were created according to an integral aerodynamic scheme with the active use of composite materials, which is up to 25% of weight and 70% of the surface area.

This design increases inconsistency and aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, the special form of the body, the collapse of the cavities and the presence of continuous turning stabilizers contribute to the reduction of radar noticeability. The machine is equipped with a multifunctional radar with Afar, an infrared optical-location station and a system of situational awareness.

SU-57 is capable of carrying a wide range of weapons, including: according to Russian sources for 2024 in the Russian Federation there were 22 units of these fighters, including prototypes. However, according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, no more than 10 Su-57 units are armed with the PCS of the Russian Federation.
