Really hope some video games step up with their military tech that could let us play with real-world advanced weaponry.

you can play Battlefield 4, it has guns,tanks,Ifv,patrol boats,fighter jets, ground attack jets helis etc, with a degree of realism in handling without being a simulator
You have F-35,J22,Su57 as playable jets, F35 also has the VTOL mode

Vietnam To Become 1st Country To Get Russian SU-57 5th Generation Fighter Jets
Will Vietnam get access to Russian 5th Generation Fighter Jets – SU-57? According to media reports, the Sukhoi Aircraft Manufacturing Group will commence the process of providing export variants of the SU-57 5th generation stealth fighter to customers in Southeast Asia after completing the trials.

Even though Sukhoi has not yet announced who the potential customer is, Avia.pro, according to its sources, confirms that Vietnam is very interested in Russia’s state of the art fighter jet. The Russian newspaper even stated that the number of Su-57 fighters that Vietnam wants to buy will be 12, equivalent to a regiment, the contract value is estimated to be about $ 2 billion. This is a reasonable number when compared with the payroll of Su-30MK2 fighter units of the Vietnam People’s Air Force.


Vietnam could possibly become the first country in the world to be approved by Russia to get access to Russian stealth, fifth-generation fighter aircraft. However, they noted that the Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as the Sukhoi Group, have not made any comments.


However, in the opinion of Colonel Makar Aksenenko – Russia’s deputy doctor of military science should be cautious of these forecasts, the key reason is that the new Su-57 fighter line has not yet passed the stage. State-level testing, not yet officially equipped for the Russian Air Force, should not confuse dreams with reality.


Russian military experts have advised that customers cannot consider the possibility of commissioning an aircraft that has not yet begun mass production in the country that developed it.


Russia currently produces a small batch of Su-57 with the Su-35 AL-41F1S while its main engine, Izdeliye 30, is not yet ready. More specifically during the press conference at the 2017 Paris Airshow Airshow, Rosoboronexport CEO, Aleksandr Mikheev said, “In the near future, Russia will not export the most modern weapons models, including fighter. 5-Su-57 generation “.

Russia, Turkey discuss supply of Russian warplanes: RIA
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia and Turkey are discussing the possibility of deliveries of the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jet and Su-35 aircraft to Turkey, the RIA news agency cited a Russian official as saying on Wednesday.

Russia began delivering S-400 missile systems to Turkey this year, in a step that strained ties with Ankara’s NATO allies and prompted Washington to begin removing Turkey from its program for manufacturing F-35 jets, which Turkey also planned to buy.

The head of Russia’s Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation said he planned to discuss the S-400 missile defense system with a Turkish colleague later on Wednesday as well as “possibly deliveries of the Su-35 or Su-57”.

“Much interest has been shown, it’s early to talk of contract negotiations, there hasn’t been an application yet, consultations have to take place,” Dmitry Shugaev, the official, was quoted as saying.

President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Turkey wants to continue defense industry cooperation with Russia, including on warplanes, following talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A Tu-160M flew for the first time with NK-32-02 engines yesterday . The modernised bomber took off from Kazan and flew for around 2 hours 20 minutes at an altitude of 6000 metres .

The new engines will increase the range , endurance and combat radius of the Tu-160. The NK-32 is the worlds' most powerful low bypass turbofan with a wet thrust of 245 kN.
Pretty sure the series 2 has more thrust .

Some news.


On October 27-29, within the framework of the Russian Energy Forum at the Energy of the Urals exhibition in Ufa, the United Engine Corporation of the State Corporation Rostec presented for the first time a number of components of a promising engine for 25 MW AL-41ST-25 gas compressor units. The corporation also demonstrated a mock-up of a drive for the AL-31ST GPU with moving parts.

The UEC's competencies in the production and modernization of ground-based engines are the basis for expanding the range of civilian products, and the AL-41ST-25 program is the priority of UEC-UMPO's work in the field of civil engines for 2020-2021. In the future, it is planned to create a family of drives with a capacity of 25, 32, 42 MW based on a single gas generator

The Agreement of Intent on the development of a new highly efficient 25 MW gas turbine engine for Gazprom was signed between UEC and Gazprom in June 2019. It is planned that with a comparable power, the AL-41ST-25 will have a higher efficiency than its counterparts (the projected power of the product is 39.1% with a phased increase to 40%). At present, the A. Lyulka Design Bureau, a branch of the UEC-UMPO, is completing the development of design documentation, preparations for production are underway at UEC-UMPO.

https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&pto=aue&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ru&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://naukatehnika.com/innovacionnyj-stels-metamaterial.html&usg=ALkJrhiE_7HGPiThyrTGllmH1tV19AqhHQ

The metamaterial is a metal-dielectric hybrid scatterer based on a well-defined magnetic dipole moment with simultaneously suppressed electrical response, resulting in minimized total scattering. The first of the possible applications of the new coating will be STEALTH technology for military and civil purposes - in order to hide various elongated objects, such as aircraft landing gear, antennas and various sensors, ship masts and airport towers. If the task of hiding these objects from enemy radars is trivial, the developers emphasize, then the task of electromagnetic compatibility of antennas on satellites is very important so that some antennas do not affect each other. And this will only be possible if they are invisible. The method will help to hide the buildings of airports, operator towers, so that they do not interfere with radars and communications with pilots. In addition, the development will find application in the so-called "Magnetic light" tasks, i.e. where it is necessary to amplify various magnetic phenomena: in nano-antennas, nano-lasers, etc. The new metamaterial is completely transparent to electromagnetic waves due to the excitation of "anapoles" in them. The metamaterial has an artificially created periodic structure. Applying the idea of dipole moments, it was possible to develop a generalized invisibility theorem and turn it into a mathematical model Sample of a superconducting metamaterial. The electrical moment excited in the system at the moment the radar signal hits it is compensated by the toroidal moment. Anapol (from the Greek an - negative particle and polos - pole) is a non-radiating source or scatterer, which is capable of emitting vector potentials in the absence of radiated electromagnetic fields, as well as scattering vector potentials in the absence of fields. A fundamentally new version of stealth masking, which will allow the radar signal directed at an object not to be reflected, not absorbed, but simply to pass through, as if there was no object. This masking method is based not on creating a cloaking cover, but on changing the configuration of the entire object system.


According to articles quote, "The stealth disguise used today is far from perfect. Such a coating is expensive, and for more efficient operation it needs the most flat surface - as a result, in airplanes, for example, you have to sacrifice the aerodynamic characteristics of the device. At the same time, the absorbed signal still creates a "shadow" - a small response that can be detected by more advanced location systems."

Ufimtsev discovered an equation to make radio waves to be reflected away from radars, dont know who discovered radio wave absorption, and AFAIK birth of a 3rd method which is stealth by transparency or letting waves pass through you.

PS: 0.00066m2 is what I am getting from that cylinder graph because that looks like it is 1/3rd of the way going 2000mm2 so multiplied 2000 by 1/3rd got 660mm2 and converted that to meters squared and red line is going to 5000mm2 or .005m2 as it was its old RCS without stealth transparency metamaterial. Would be cool if this shit is included with ROFAR on the new variant for 2022

Seems like Russians use IRST instead of DAS in front section.
Nope.

Russians also use a system which is similar to DAS in some functionalities and coverage. It's the 101 KS-U system . There are in total four apertures providing 360 degree coverage.

2 single sensor aperture just below the aft portion of cockpit facing sideways

2 twin sensors aperture. 1 under the nose and one oon the dorsal surface just forward of the twin vertical stabs.

There are two IIR sensors, KS-P which are meant for terrain following and night time flight at low levels. It provides high def IR imagery to the HUD .

What makes Su-57 special compared to both F-22 Raptors and F-35 is the presence of KS-O which is a laser based DIRCM. Two such turrets are present. This makes Felon almost invincible to the threat of IR guided Bvraam and wvraam.

The electro optical suite has been designed and developed by UOMZ .

Su-57 is in a class of its own. Better than Raptor in some respects and head and shoulders ahead of the Lightning .

We will be buying Su-57 Felon in good numbers , around 100 or even more in the next two years. After Item-30 engine completes developmental and user trials and enters operational service in 24.

Northrop Grumman actually developing a DIRCM system intended to be add to F-35 in block 5, though to be fair, the DIRCM system might not be added since the high power laser weapon will be added later on, full filling both defensive and offensive role.

Depending on what aspect you are talking about. In kinematic sure. In other aspect? Nope.
For example: one unique point that set F-35 apart from F-22 and Su-57 is the ability to carry self propelled jammer such as SPEAR-EW and MALD-J/V/N
