Russia’s Su-57 Stealth Fighter Is Now A Giant Disappointment
National Security Journal ^ | 7/21/2024 | Brent M. Eastwood

Russia’s Su-57 Felon Next-generation Fighter Has Its Wings Clipped: It hasn’t been a good summer for the Russian Air Force, and now the Ukrainians are adding insult to injury. One of Russia’s most vaunted warbirds – the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon – was destroyed by a Ukrainian drone strike in June. The resilient and intrepid Ukrainians have raised the stakes in the war against Russia by using drones in deep attack mode. The destruction of the single-seat twin-engine Su-57 Felon must have created another headache for air force leaders in Moscow because it is one of the jewels in the Russian crown.

Russia is a joke. Why can't Europe deter these guys? Oh, I get it, they don't spend a lot on defense but a lot on their welfare states. Ok...

“Russia is a joke.”

Seems you started (this account) on FR, ALMOST TO THE DAY, that the Ukraine War started.

Interesting.

I cannot stand the constant propaganda.

Sure, Russia is a joke that ground NATO's proxy army in Ukraine into dust.

Our military and Western militaries is far worse shape. Our military has been crippled by wokeness. The entire West can't come close to matching the manufacturing capacity of Russia in producing ammo or weapons. Our tanks are so pathetic that the Ukrainians don't even want into them.

Enough of the ridiculous obsession with Russia given all of our problems.

All sides of this are wrong. Putin, Zelensky, Biden.

They are just grinding through as many white men as they possibly can. And they want to send over more.

Russia is a joke.

Your post implies that the next gen Russian aircraft is a 'disappointment' because of performance issues when it was taken out by a drone while sitting on the ground.

I'm sure the Russians are only 'disappointed' at loosing an expensive aircraft.

They really need to make a real life FireFox from the Clint Eastwood movie.

Russia is a joke.

Anyone who buys into the Biden/Nuland propaganda machine... as you do daily is a joke. Pray to God that the inevitable future assassination attempts will be unsuccessful as well, because Biden/Nuland have pushed us to the brink of WWIII with the full support of stooges such as yourself.

As one whose family escaped Southern Poland I share your sentiment. One of my favorite movie quotes is from Lord of War.

“But in the Iran Iraq war you sold weapons to both countries”

“Did you ever consider I wanted both sides to lose?”

When the Su-57 wastes the F-16’s from long distance, let’s come back to this thread.
