The latest Russian fighter Su-57 not only does not meet the specified characteristics , but he is actually incapacitated. Therefore, flying with them can be even dangerous, said aviation expert and leading researcher at NAU Valery Romanenko, reports the Ukrainian "24 channel”.

According to him, two elements of the Su-57 constantly fail due to poor quality: the Sh-121 (the radar complex of the weapons control system, which is responsible for target detection and missile guidance); The on-board computer BCVM HAS a BC (on-board computer on which the operation of all systems of the aircraft depends).

It is noted that due to the sanctions against Russia, the manufacturer of base microprocessors "Elbrus“ cannot obtain required components. That is why production of the Su-57 was discontinued. During all this time, the Russians have created only 11 such aircraft.

"According to the concept of the fifth generation, the on-board engine must be protected as much as possible by corresponding radio-electronic equipment. Maximum protection from heat radiation. The Russians didn't do that. To date, all 9 Su-57s built by them have engines from the so-called First Stage. The same as found on the fourth generation plus-plus – of the Su-35 and Su-34”, Romanenko points out.
