Love it or Hate it?: China Is Studying Russia's New Su-57 Stealth Fighter Global Conflict

This video shows you that Love it or Hate it?: China Is Studying Russia's New Su-57 Stealth Fighter.

Perhaps the main lesson should be that, despite their differences of philosophy, the Russians and Americans both armed their stealth fighters with guns.

One Chinese expert holds a mixed view of Russia's Su-57 stealth fighter, Beijing's state media reported. For all its faults, the Su-57 is "unique," Wang Yongqing concluded, according to Global Times .

Wang is the chief designer at the Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute, which is developing the J-31 stealth fighter. The Chinese navy reportedly is considering adding the type to future carrier air wings.



But in studying the troubled Russian plane, Wang seems to have overlooked potentially the most important lesson the Su-57's abortive development stands to teach the Chinese.

The Su-57 might never enter service in meaningful numbers. But that's not necessarily the fault of the plane's design, which is sophisticated and well-rounded. Perhaps most notably, the Su-57 has a gun, just like American stealth fighters do. Alone among stealth fighters, China's own J-20 does not have a gun.

The gun gap apparently escaped Wang's attention.

"Although many Chinese military observers are pessimistic over Russia's latest fighter jet Su-57's capability, a senior Chinese warplane designer believes the Su-57 has a very unique concept," Global Times reported on Jan. 24, 2019.

The Su-57, a large, twin-engine fighter with a wide, trapezoidal wing, first flew in January 2010. Since then the Russian air force has acquired around 10 Su-57s for testing. Sukhoi engineers reportedly build each Su-57 by hand, resulting in crude workmanship .


The Su-57s reportedly lack key combat systems. Two of the fighters briefly deployed to Syria in February 2018. The Kremlin claimed, without firm proof , that the planes flew strike missions during the deployment.

The Kremlin ordered its first dozen production-standard Su-57s in August 2018, hoping to form the first regular squadron some time in 2019. But with military budgets declining amid an economic slump, Moscow at the same time decided to not acquire the plane in large numbers.


The Russian government tried to spin the decision to curtail the Su-57 effort. "You know that today the Su-57 is considered to be one of the best aircraft produced in the world," Yuri Borisov, Russia’s deputy defense minister, told a T.V. audience in July 2018. "Consequently, it does not make sense to speed up work on mass-producing the fifth-generation aircraft."

The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force has had greater success with its own J-20 stealth fighter. The large, twin-engine fighter first flew in early 2011. In early 2018 the PLAAF declared the first squadron of the type to be operational.
