Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)

That video has the Su-57 in the Indian airshow (notice the HAL Tejas there) spliced into a video of Algerian dignitaries.
We have seen the Su-57 in Algerian art before. But this news still seems to be of low reliability.
Algeria seems to be covering its bases with procurement lately. For example they are buying ships from China and Germany. While the alleged order for the Steregushchiy corvette aka Tigr seems to have gone nowhere for example.

So you actually don't rate this sale as confirmed or at least not to Algeria?

And another question! I presume, the production capacity is still not that high enough to produce those for Algeria additionally to an increased batch for Russia this year! So Algeria first in order to satisfy a new customer or am I wrong?

Indeed the aircraft their Pilots are training on could very well be Su34 which were also "confirmed" in 2021

A sale is possible, but I don't consider it as something set in stone. Algeria is a possibility, a traditional Russian weapons client, but there are others like Vietnam, Iran, or India. Belarus and Kazakhstan are also possibilities. None of those countries care about CAATSA that much.

The production facility is the same which makes the Su-35. They could always switch production of one for the other. I think they had one line with Su-57, and two lines with Su-35s. Each line can work on like up to a dozen aircraft simultaneously. As Su-35 orders wind down it is to be expected that Su-57 production will increase.

The Su-57 looks out of this world.

That particular photo allows you to visualise it with no rudders at all. Just a J-36esque fighter.

I can fully understand your emotions, but to call it a "J-36esque fighter" is IMO a bit off ... You've lost your temper a little emotionally, as we so nicely say in Germany: "Da sind dir emotional ein wenig die Gäule durchgegangen"

It's more like a Russian ballerina than anything else for me. Gorgeous fighter, too few in numbers.

Was this the actual first time an Su-57 (even a T-50) landed in Iran or just the first the western media has noted?
