The Su-57 is incorporated with 3D thrust vectoring controls that give the aircraft better agility and maneuverability at high speed and altitudes. The Su-57 3D thrust vectoring control capability is deemed to be better than that of the F-22 Raptor.

The High maneuverability and Supersonic cruise capability give the aircraft a high advantage to win close-range dogfight scenarios. The Su-57 has a length of 20.1 meters, a height of 5.45 meters, a wingspan of 14.8 meters, and a wing area of 78.8 Squared meters.

The Su-57 is a lighter fighter than F-22, which weighs 18,000 kg. The Su-57 takeoff distance is 300 meters, and the landing distance is 330 meters.

  • Price:

The Su-57 cost around 100,000,000$.

  • Future Development:

Russia is aiming to develop S-70 Okhotnik (Hunter B) stealth strike drone alongside the Su-57 being the “loyal wingman” of the Su-57 fighter. Regardless that I’m a Sukhoi fan, I can’t say that Su-57 is a better jet fighter than the F-22 Raptor.

I personally think that the F-22 is a superior Fighter to the Su-57 and not Only the Su-57. I guess it’s the best fighter so far due to the maneuverability of the fighter and the technologies and tactical abilities, even though it was built like 15 years before the Su-57.
