sir everyone knows the evaluation of Su-27 series of jets and this thread not bring any thing new to PDF @war&peace :angel:
We have thousands of threads regarding JF17 with same information. I'm sure there are a lot of people who do not know much about Su-series of A/Cs. You can rather ask interesting questions.
I wonder why so many of Su-series (37, 47 and 57) have been cancelled?

Su-47 is ahead of its time. It needs 90% composites to hold the swept wings. Maybe Su-47 can serve as a basis for 6th gen if there is going to be one.

Su-57 is not canceled. American propaganda.

It's explained here by the deputy prime minister.

Composite materials are not rare and we now have carbon fibre which is stronger than steel. Su-57 got cancelled because Russia does not have funds and the project has been delayed too long. Some similar story for Su-37...to me it look like SU-x7 series is kind of experimental.

Russia has plenty of money. Russia is the biggest oil producer in the world. No problem funding Su-57 production.

Also, Russia is the biggest natural gas producer in the world.

Russia is swimming in cash.
there are other defense program is going on like Bori class submarine project, Yasin class submarine project, PAK-DA bomber project, SARMAT ICBM project, Nimtiz class aircraft carrier project, all delayed to 2025, over all Russian economy is bad in shape, and this not a proof at all, and also remember lots of civilian project is also going, so they have not funds for Su-57 production or it will be delayed when the funds will available @undertakerwwefan :p::enjoy:
