Su-35S is already going to get replaced by Su-35SM.

First ever spotting of the designation Su-35SM happened in the Akhtubinsk air base where 929 GLITs of the Ru MoD is stationed. In fact, it happened during one TV reportage about 100 anniversary of that centre.

From 3:13 ,we can see Su-35SM ( row No 14) Bort number 51 and 52 red.

For now ,Su-35SM is not the official designation in the VKS .


Now about the Su-57,in this case E ,509 blue .

From the Su-57 two-seater to the Su-75 - what's happening at Sukhoi

During the Dubai Airshow, Sukhoi test pilot Sergei Bogdan explained the latest developments concerning the Su-57 and the future of the Su-75 Checkmate.

Do we have to - just because there is NOTHING else NEW to report - constantly post photos that have already been posted x times in completely irrelevant reports that bring nothing new? If nothing happens that is worth reporting, then maybe just post NOTHING?

It's really annoying.

OK but I thought that photo where we can see only one outer weapon compartment as opened with R-74M2 model wasn't posted so far.Btw ,Sergey Bogdan said that it wasn't some malfunction.

Was this that case ?

That is either a delayed AB light, or a dual engine compressor stall
 
Some time ago we commented how many 'assembly lines' for the Su-57 have KnAAZ. It seems only one for now.

One UAC photo is here in this article :

very very interesting development. India might fast track the purchase of the Su57 as a response since the F35 is booked until the late 2020s. Also gives India plausible deniability over lockheed's inability to deliver as fast as India needs although If India does buy the F35 it could do so at a massive premium to get it faster.

either way looks like the su57 might get a new export customer apart from algeria very soon.

@MODS idk if this strictly belongs here since its not technically news that is related to the su57 but this does have profound impact on India's chances of buying the su57(which looks to have increased drastically) which is related to the su57s export.

What's wrong with the TASS?

''BrahMos-II'' is hypersonic version of the original ''BrahMos'',yes. Operational or not, that's another story.

'In parallel' !

No it is not ... but again! Posting irrelevant stuff to the topic, overhyping certain words and relying on irrelevant sources! :mad:

Can we stick please to the topic and post only when indeed something relevant happens?
 
I'm surprised they didn't adopt a desert themed paint scheme like the Algerian Su-34s. But different roles, so maybe that's why.

IIRC Su-57 cammo pattern was result of actual development/evaluation process to screw up with digital recognition. Not sure how much it helps when in modern world everyone will just train on specific pattern in the first place, but either way, changing it will come with some penalty.
 
How good is Sensor fusion on Su-57 fighter compared to say Su-35 or Western equivalent of F-35 or Rafale.

The Su-57 as per open source have around 4 million plus lines of code versus say F-35 with 8 million plus lines of code so likely the latter is more software intensive and sensor fusion driven ? Thank you

Aspects like effectiveness of sensor fusion cannot reliably be gauged by enthusiasts online. You'd have to work at UAC/LM for an accurate assessment and then you'd face jail time for sharing such information on the Internet. On paper both the Su-57 and F-35 have a lot of sensory equipment meant to aid them in target identification and acquistion, situational awareness and as part of the aircrafts defensive countermeasures.

The Su-57, with it's integrated IRST, DIRCM, MAWS, various radar and electronic countermeasures has a more extensive sensor and countermeasure suites that the previous Su-35 or a Rafale. How comprehensively these are fused together to optimize their operation and effectiveness, that's something you'd need to ask an engineer or pilot familiar with the aircraft.

Actually Su-57 has more than 8 million lines of code because it is using two IMA BK computing systems:

БЦВМ ИМА БК информационно-управляющей системы самолета Су-57 (Т-50)

Источником является конкурсная работа Бортовая цифровая вычислительная машина на основе принципов интегрированной модульной авионики боевых комплексов для информационно-управляющей системы самолета Су-57, поданная специалистами АО Государственный Рязанский приборный завод…
bmpd.livejournal.com bmpd.livejournal.com

''В настоящее время именно на основе технологии ИМА БК ПАО «Компания «Сухой» разработало информационно-управляющую систему (ИУС) перспективного авиационного комплекса фронтовой авиации - самолета Су-57. Основой для построения данной ИУС является бортовая цифровая вычислительная машина на основе принципов ИМА БК (БЦВМ ИМА БК), созданная АО «ГРПЗ» по техническому заданию ПАО «Компания «Сухой».

В ИУС самолета Су-57 входят две БЦВМ ИМА БК, связанные в единую высокоскоростную резервированную сеть на основе последовательного интерфейса Fibre Channel со специально разработанным детерминированным профилем.''

Currently, PJSC Sukhoi Company has developed the information and control system (ICS) for the Su-57, a promising frontline aviation complex, using IMA BK technology. This ICS is based on an onboard digital computer based on IMA BK principles (IMA BK BCVM), created by JSC GRPZ according to PJSC Sukhoi Company's specifications.

The Su-57 ICS consists of two IMA BK BCVMs, linked into a single high-speed redundant network using a serial Fibre Channel interface with a specially developed deterministic profile.

But these are the old numbers from almost a decade ago. Latest Su-57 versions (as well as F-35) have more advanced avionics suite, and the number of lines of code will not tell the whole story for sure.

Just like how knowing the exact specifications of an SDB offers one little comfort when one of them happens to enter through the bedroom window, I'd argue a stealth scheme which relies on keeping unalterable design features of your aircraft secret is not a good one.

Surprising, the known video from KnAAZ made during Feb this year.

When we discussed about so called radar blocker( anti-radar grid or radial-coaxial grid) inside of the air intakes several months ago, I must admit ,I was sceptical about it.First thoughts were about possible 'air flow mass issues' inside of the air intakes.Also must admit that I hoped the real grid is there 'cause it is obvious that Su-57's air intakes are not so curved as it is supposed to. Of course must admit that I was wrong ,the grids are there.Only question is , are those grids integrated from the beginning of the serial production?

I am sure it is rather primitive since HMD isn’t in service yet. Without that it just combining info on MFDs in helpful ways.
