Sukhoi 57 Upgrade

The fifth-generation multirole fighter, developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau, now boasts increased stealth, survivability, and maneuverability. Yet, Moscow has continued to hype the capabilities of the aircraft, even as its role in the ongoing war in Ukraine has been limited. The Russian aircraft is also equipped with 3D thrust vector jets for higher maneuverability and is capable of developing supersonic cruising speed. The twin-engine fighter is powered by Izdeliye 117 or AL-41F1 augmented turbofans, and it can fly at a speed of up to Mach two without afterburners, while it can reach a range of up to 3,500km at subsonic speeds. Can Su-57 be compared with Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor?
