Cool video of Su-57

I was just watching this on YT and came here to see if it was already posted and I see it was.

That missile launch @ minute 22 after it performs that super low level flight over the runway and then goes vertical and fires the missile is fantastic! They don't show you if it was fired off a rail or out of a weapons bay because they're obviously keeping that stuff secret, but what a great shot of some great action.

Seems as if the RuAF is testing some larger external fuel tanks for the Su-57.

At least they are different in shape.

Great pictures, @T-55 .

Can't wait to see this thing get its engines and its final camo (unless this digital camo is it) and enter service.

A very poot attempt at 5th generation when you consider Russia deep pedigree in aerospace design and development. Russia has pioneered so many things in both space, and aviation that to see them attempt to pass the Su-57 as 5th is just shameful.

Russia can do better. They get a D-- on the Su57 effort. Even Turkey and Korea have come up with better designs which they are now building...
