Russia s Su-57 Stealth Fighter Has A Long Road Ahead Before Its Ready For War nationalinterest.org - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from nationalinterest.org Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Su-57 program remains under-funded and under-developed.
Here s What You Need to Remember: In light of the difficulties the Su-57 program faces, the purported second Syria deployment likely achieved as much as the 2018 deployment did. Nothing much.
The Russian air force deployed Su-57 stealth fighters to Syria a second time since first deploying them to the war-torn country in February 2018.
But that doesn’t mean the twin-engine Su-57 is any closer to being ready for mass production, to say nothing of its readiness for full-scale warfare against a high-tech foe.
The Russian military’s chief of the general staff Valery Gerasimov announced the deployment in mid-December 2019, according to TASS.
