  • The Su-57 final episode. It has been widely covered, but still there are many comments that show that it is not clear why the Su-57 is what it is.
    So we go through the common fallacies around the Su-57 and the biggest of all those: STEALTH.

    I really appreciate this series. Anyone talking like that is actually disrespecting the time and effort put into this kind of research. And as you mentioned in the video: "underestimating your opponent is the first step to defeat". Thank you!

    I really feel that the Sukhoi 57 is underrated. Did we make an oopsie by dropping out of the program. I know for a fact that the Russians are pretty opaque with transfer of technology and know how with the Sukhoi 30 Mki, we still need knock down kits to make them in India. However, having something of this calibre while facing the numerically and technologically superior Chinese would have been reassuring. I feel we should brave the sanctions and buy su-57, even if it has hair on the armpit bays

    I guess 1/3 of these comments are direct from Lockheed Martin, 1/3 are from the Pentagon and the 1/3 are from fan boys. The Fan boys forget, this is not a contest between 2 race cars. There will be no "race" which proof their guesses right.

    Since the SU57 avionics are all about data fusion, and it has two L band arrays in conjunction with the three x band arrays, I think we’re underestimating it’s ability to create tracks on other stealth aircraft. Yes an individual L band array is no where near the accuracy needed to create a track on an aircraft, however using two of them at different angles to locate a target, then focus all three of the X-band arrays (which all would also have slightly different angles) I think it’s well within the realm of possibility that the Su57’s on board computer could create a track with that data alone.

    This is quite simply one of the best military channels on YT, hands down.

    You are probably the most knowledgeable person on these topics on TH-cam. Thanks for these series.

    No American pilot does not NOT take their Russian counterparts seriously not matter what they are flying, those guys are seriously really good at what they do. The SU is a beautiful aircraft.

    Also, most people do not visually understand how stealth works. When they hear "stealth" and decide to believe in it, they think of it being something like "predator" stealth from the movies. Simplifying it to the degree of something like holding a paper cup in front of a model aircraft and then simulating different bandwidths by changing the cone to a traffic cone or a vodka shot glass could help.

    Agility with vectored thrust are useful for dodging missiles, not just dogfighting.

    As an electrical engineer became fascinated with stealth after studying the Jaumann Absorbers and Ferrite absorbers the German WW2 Navy used on its periscopes and snorkels. These simple to make German WW2 technology could absorb around 99.5% of microwaves if combined. It's clear the Su-57 has a considerable degree of stealth. Pro Indications of stealth are: 1 Weapons Bay 2 the Upward Angled AESA radar which will reflect waves upo and away. 3 the leading edges of all control surfaces (with one exception) is aligned to minimize scatter. 4 The Intakes hide the engines 5 Angled side surfaces. Negative Indications are 1 the leading edge slats which create a seam, 2 the exposed IRST sensor 3 visible seams of the panels 4 the chine angles are different 5 external antenna and aerials and 6 exposed nozzles. Nevertheless its clear that from the frontal aspect the aircraft should achieve at least a 256:1 to 512:1 reduction in RCS over say a Su-34 in the frontal quadrant in the Air to Air role. I'm assuming a 128:1 reduction due to stealth coatings and and another 4:1 due to shape factors. For instance it won't have exposed weapons, its radar will reflect incipient radiation back the slats will have RAM as will the wing structure and surface behind, the cockpit canopy will also absorb radiation, the engines will be hidden and most of the angles will deflect radiation. There are many flaws but there is a considerable reduction which will have a significant effect. On the side and read quadrants the engine nozzles will be visible both to radar and infrared.

    I was wondering when you would be addressing the elephant in the room regarding the Su-57 and what a fantastic explanation at that.

    I really enjoy the way you present your videos. You explain technical topics in a way that is easy to understand and and very thorough. Im surprised you dont have a larger audience tbh. Keep em coming :)

    I recently found your channel on YT and turned out to be the best aerospace-defence related channel I've ever watched! Ur explanation is so simple and beautiful that we won't miss out any minute piece of info

    This was totaly needed and fun to watch and read. And its almost certain an airforce pilot wouldnt coment any of this. A big 👏 to you for setting the bars.
