lets have some more rear pics of T50






Find a odd part in a pic and report it ?
T-50-1 (photo 3 I guess) with screw-dumping parachute container in the tail boom.

Glavkom VKS first reported the name of the Russian fighter of the 5th generation




Commander-in-Chief of the Air and Space Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev in an exclusive interview to the site of the Zvezda television channel for the first time formally announced the serial name of the fifth generation T-50 fighter. The aircraft received the designation Su-57.

"The decision is made, the plane got its name, like a child after birth. Su-57 - now we will call it that way, "said Bondarev, answering the correspondent's question" Stars ".

Earlier that the T-50 fighter would get the serial name Su-57, some media wrote, citing sources in the aircraft building industry.

@gadeshi , the Russians had a lot of feedback from the MKI'ed version of their SU30 which will be same with FGFA we help each other with operational experience. FGFA is a done deal, I hope we concentrate on the PAK DA project which might again take some sweet time seeing our priorities but we need a potent delivery platform to get the war to the Chinese mainland if the need arises.

This t50/su57 is maturing very fast than expected. Only item missing is Item 30 or what else!? This will surely give F22 a run for its money.

PAK-DA is going in Parallel as its being under development by Tupolev Design Bureau not by Sukhoi.

F22 is not exactly a world war fighter plane. Its paint gets worn off and needs patch ups after few sorties. Also the ground based radars use megawatts of power and can detect even the F22 type planes. Only the on board AESA radars on fighter planes can't detect them. Even the AESA radars on AEWAC planes can detect F22 from a reasonable distance (250km +).

@Vijyes. Answer the following. Which f**k**g world war you are talking about? Name any one ground based radar that sucks megawatts of power and that also detects F22 type planes.

The Tupolev PAK DA is a proposed Russian next-generation strategic bomber being developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau.
PAK-DA means "prospective aviation complex for long-range aviation"
Isn't missiles far better than strategic bombers. Why need such complexity when a missile of fire and forget type can be used? Isn't a multirole fighter enough?

Everything has its own significance.
Stretegic bombers are used to carry huge amount of ammunition and Large number of cruise missiles at a longer ranges in comparison to Multi-Role combat aircrafts.

For example: Tu-160 can't be compared with Su-35 in terms of load + range.

Missiles for longer ranges ( more than 3000kms) are very expensive in comparison with Stretegic bombers.

Which world war? Are you retarded? Why do you need planes if you are not interested in fighting war? F22 is only stealth against a useless foe like iran or against other fighter jets outside the boundaries of a strong country. For example, F22 can be detected by an AEWACS plane of India or even by the ground based radar. S400 type radars of russia can also detect it. The problem with on board radars of plane is that the size is too small and the power consumption os low at 30kW which limits range.

You do not know how stealth works. Stealth is only lower observability and not 0 observability. That means a plane fades out of visibility and appears like dust particles at shorter distances for a given radar compared to a plane of high RCS. A radar of higher power can detect small objects for larger distances than a radar with lower power (with some plateau limits).

When a plane is moving at a speed of 1000kmph, the radar signature, even though that of a small object, can be identified as a plane.
