This detailed analysis on the Su-57 observability by AUSAIRPOWER is pretty detailed. To cut the long story short, the Su-57 design is a matured one for VLO capability. The main issues lies with certain angles of the fighter and its engine farings at the end, things that can be rectified with more money and prototypes build. Things that unfortunately are in low supply in Russia ATM.
As much as Russia is touting this as a production line fighter, I seriously doubt that Russia will be fielding the Su-57 in any large numbers until the design is worked over some more.
Looks like there is some kind of air bleeding system of the engine shroud, for IR reduction purpose?Looking good!

Just curious why is one of the engine jet petal has a saw tooth pattern and the other one doesn't? Yes I know about the stealth capability but my question in that particular image is why put it on just one engine instead of two?Izd. 30 on 052 again,
