    Your simulations are literally random mods for DCS.

    Production is not over. Russia plans to produce Su-57Ms this year. Su-57M upgrades the Su-57 with sixth generation technology including AI and drone integration.

    Su-57 already received its first order from a foreign country. Algeria has ordered Su-57Es.

      By the time Russia makes any meaningful numbers the rest of us will be in Tempests, FCAS and NGAD. I’d be Suprised if they can make any more actually given it’s 14 years old anyway and most people class it as 4.5 gen.

        By the time Russia makes any meaningful numbers the rest of us will be in Tempests, FCAS and NGAD.

        Why should Russia produce its own NGAD when Su-57M already integrates 6th generation technology including AI and drones to the Su-57?

        What? You don’t make sense. Su-57 entered production in 2021 and production peaked in 2023 with 12 being produced. Russia started retooling the production facilities for Su-57M production in 2024 which is the reason why only 6 were produced in 2024. Russia constructed a new production facility made entirely for Su-57M production. This means production should at least double to 24 per year. Although it will probably more than double to maybe 36 or more per year as the Su-57s had to share the assembly line with Su-35s in the first production facility.

        most people class it as 4.5 gen.
