The Russian Federation can find weapons against F-16 fighters when they appear in Ukraine-media

According to journalists, Moscow has not yet used the fifth generation fighters Su-57. However, the Kremlin has repeatedly said that the planes were ready for use. When F-16 fighters appear in Ukraine, Russia can use its Su-57 planes against them. About it writes the newspaper The National Interest. According to journalists, in the war against Ukraine Moscow has not yet used fighter jets of the "fifth generation" of SU-57. However, the Kremlin has repeatedly said that the planes were ready for use.

The publication writes that Su-57 was developed in the early 2000s, although its concept arose much earlier. It is positioned as an "invisible fighter". In NATO, this aircraft was marked as Felon. "In the analysis of 2020, the Royal Institute of Joint Services described Felon as" has not yet turned into a reliable advanced weapon system ", but nevertheless, as an invisible plane with the potential," the material reads.

In addition, the SU-57 can be equipped not only by the air-air-air rockets, but also by the Air Earth's weapon. The plane can carry up to 8 missiles. The Kremlin also claims that they are going to upgrade the engine, but it will be problematic to do because of sanctions. We will remind that in early November 2023 the media reported that SU-57 PCS of the Russian Federation appeared over Lugansk.

Probably the newest Russian fighter was involved in the attack in the Odessa region, releasing anti-radiolocation missiles X-31P. Russia has several airbazes, which are based on its most modern fighter jets. On November 23, it was reported that Polish experts evaluated the capabilities of the A-50 PCS of the Russian Federation.
