And being drunk almost all the time. Alcoholism is rampant in the former Soviet Union. The soul destroying effects of communism and the failure of Russians basic understanding and practice of a market economy hasn’t changed life in any positive measurable way for the average Russian. It’s pretty much ‘’gangster capitalism’’. A truly sad measure of this can be seen on You Tube.

Dozens of videos of stunningly beautiful Russian and Ukrainian young women who are desperate to meet and marry a foreigner , preferably and American so they can avoid a life of hopelessness and despair.

Only if they don’t learn from it and fail to fix the problem.

Well at least they haven’t blown up another of their Subs again.
Course hearing that their only aircraft carrier is in dry dock and on fire sure is a hit.

Can we assume the flight test was a failure?

It passed flight check, take off, and safe eject... partial success?

No, but unlike the F-22, which is an air superiority fighter with all-aspect stealth able to penetrate enemy airspace, the Su-57 seems designed primarily to defend Russia’s vast periphery. As part of an integrated air defense system, the Su-57 should suffice for that task — assuming that it passes development and gets produced in sufficient numbers. Even a couple of dozen such fighters in the field would complicate NATO plans for the defense of the Baltic nations or Chinese plans to seize territory in Russia’s Far East.

We certainly had issues with fly by wire controls as well, maybe they stole the wrong software version?

"Returning to Edwards after a test flight, the YF 22 experienced a series of pitch oscillations, and with the landing gear retracted, the aircraft hit the runway, slid, and burned."

Being a military fighter pilot has always been amongst the most dangerous jobs in the World - whether in Russia or America ...
