Ten Years Later, Russia Finally Begins Production of the Su-57 Stealth Fighter

Well A-10 and Mig-25 don't have supercruise and they are the best CAS aircraft available.

Su-25 is replaced by Su-34. A-10 isn't that good. Many were shot down in Iraq.

Su-34 is replacement for Su-24 and Tu-22m3 not Su-25

Yes it is mainly used for counter insurgency in Syria. Also in Africa.

Another BS rubbish from you. Where in Africa? You do realise this is a huge huge land mass.

So, 4 frame lost are "Many" were shot down? Only 4 + 2 (Crash landed) were shot down by Iraqi during Desert storm

They are A-10A (80-0248), A-10A (78-0722), OA-10A (76-0543) and A-10A (79-0130) were shot down by Iraqi Air Defence during desert storm. Another A-10A (79-0181) and OA-10A (77-0197) crash landed belly up after being damaged by SAM, aircraft totalled beyond repair

Do bear in mind A-10 flew 9000 combat sortie and have a sortie completion rate of 98.5%

Surely India can't be that backward to not to be able to reverse engineer the code?-"and a refusal by Russia to share software source codes."

Yea we all saw the great technical edge Indian gets speclliy after drinking cows liquid waste and Thts why thier TEJAS went no where in 40 years????

Su-34 replaces Su-25 too.

This can explain it better than me why SU-34 is not an ideal solution for the role .

Su-25 is being replaced by attack drones like Orion E. There is no future for manned planes. Unmanned is safer for pilots and have unparalleled flight time and ease of servicing.

Well in future maybe but right now no drone can deliver as much firepower and receive as much punishment as Su-25 or A-10.
By the way as far as I'm aware Russia right now planning on upgrading the fighters in its inventory to SM, Well it's a shame they didn't choose TM version for being over sophisticated. The TM version could even fire R-77.

Yes but the drones are cheap and has much more endurance and therefore multiple drones can be used instead of single su25 or a10 ...

Remember drone are also capable of long endurances ... in a typical scenario you dont want to put your pilot in a hot zone for more that 1.5 to 2 hours ? It will put a lot of sttain on human body as flying in a hit zone iz lot of stress ... whereas in case ox done you can change as much pilots as you want

Drone are good to be used against guerilla forces but are they as good against well equipped enemy .

Yup ... these are sensor conttolled can take high G manuvers that human cant take ...

Sooner or later there will be a drive to mass produce cheap drones that will be smart as well through artificial intelligence and disposable ... consider a small drone that is disposable unlike the pilots flying at 10 meters and impossible to detect considering the height and size ... it can strike some really deep protected bases of enemies ...

That's correct. There is no future for manned planes. Su-57 is Russia's final manned plane. Orion E is Russia's first unmanned plane.

Who said there is no future; you are truly not in the field just putting out jibberish

There are rumors that Russia is going to produce two more manned plane one of them is to replace Su-31
