Russia unveils new fleet of 'invisible' supersonic fighter jets - and boasts that they will be the envy of air forces around the world
Russia has unveiled its new fleet of 'invisible' supersonic fighter jets, boasting that they are already the envy of air forces around the world.
The £120million Sukhoi-57, which will have a top speed of 1,615 mph, is said to rival America's F-22 and China's Chengdu J-20,
Kremlin officials say the fifth-generation stealth jet has been 'christened like a baby after its birth' as Su-57 and will undergo another year of testing before it enters military service in 2019

We ought to buy one and give it a trial flight before ordering 500 more if we like it.

Yeah I don’t think so. Unless they’re actually plastic all the way thru. Exposed engine nacelles, underwing hard points, vertical stabilizers near perpendicular to the fusilage.... I don’t think so.

If they’re invisible why were they veiled?

Exposed engines/outlets (hard IR sources), and no thrust vectoring. The Russians have been good in the past with aerodynamics, but . . .
To: Spirochete
Just because the Russians advertise them as stealthy, or Gen 5, does not make it so. The Russians will sacrifice stealth for speed & agility. We will sacrifice speed & agility to get the first-look/first-shot. Who is right?

Similar to an F-14. The F14 has variable geometry wings. The Sukhoi-57 wings are fixed, not variable.
