New batches of Russia's most advanced jet fighters coming online
The 57s might be in case Russia ever has to fight a war against space aliens or some such, they wouldn't seem to need anything that sophisticated for dealing with nato...

Russian propaganda.
Nothing in the you tube but words.
We have had a lock on low observable and advanced tech tactical air for a very long time while the Russians have been not making fighters .
These aircraft are qualitatively inferior to our F22 and F35 but they represent a quantum leap in Russian capabilities.
. The US has had such a technological edge over any rival that we have had walkovers in all the conflicts we have fought in. Our potential adversaries have been watching and they are closing the tech gap while our military seems to be stagnating and struggling with diversity mandates.
the unstealthy flying prototype lacking essential Western parts needs to stay as far as possible fro the feba, let alone aliens
United Aircraft? Isn’t that the former Pratt Whitney, now Raytheon in East Hartford CT?
Unmanned aerial vehicles seem to be the future.
Part of the future. But the human brain is still better than any computer at some kinds of tasks.
Agreed, and never put everything in one basket.
If old school science fiction has taught me properly, you always went some old equipment around. You can’t hack something without a computer…

The near term future is a mix of manned and semi autonomous unmanned aircraft.
In the near future, weapons load out and aircraft configuration for a given mission will not be limited to that which is installed on the aircraft.
This approach is a very effective force multiplier.
“These aircraft are qualitatively inferior to our F22 and F35 but they represent a quantum leap in Russian capabilities.”
LOL. Inferior in what capacity? F35 is inferior to the 3gen fighters on most specs.
It is not as maneuverable as the F22 but it will hold its own against most everything else out there in a close in visual engagement. Configured for air to air at comparable fuel state to an F16 it can do some amazing things
In a real world engagement against 4th gen aircraft its like clubbing baby seals
