Russia's top secret $155m Su-57 stealth fighter crashes just days before it is due to enter service - Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter.jpg

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...r-service.html The Sukhoi Su-57 fighter crashed in a ball of flames and was 'fully destroyed' It crashed in remote Siberian woodland after the pilot escaped in an ejector seat Russia's air force has ordered 76 of the £120m planes to be delivered by 2028 A state-of-the-art Russian fighter jet has crashed on a training mission just days before the first of the aircraft was due to be delivered to Putin's air force. The Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter crashed in a ball of flames in the far east of Russia and was 'fully destroyed', officials said. It crashed in remote Siberian woodland after the pilot flew it away from a city and bailed out to safety with his ejector seat. Russia's air force has ordered 76 of the $155 million (£120million) planes, which are intended to rival America's F-22 Raptor stealth fighters - to which they are similar. The Su-57 is also similar to the Chinese J-20 jet, which is alleged to have been built using stolen US plans obtained by Chinese hackers. The stricken aircraft was a test plane not one of those due to be passed to the air force, according to news agency RIA Novosti. Residents of Dzyomgi village, some seven miles north of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, heard a 'strong roar', believed to be the moment the warplane got into trouble. The plane had taken off from a military airfield close to a village. Investigators are examining whether the was a 'technical malfunction' or pilot error, say reports. One source said there had been a failure of the hi-tech plane's 'control system'. 'A special commission will investigate the causes of the crash,' said a spokesman for United Aircraft Corporation which owns the plant. 'The emergency escape system functioned as required, the pilot ejected, he is alive,' said the spokesman. Ten of the jets have already been built at Sukhoi's plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur for pre-production tests and combat evaluation. Some of them have been flown in combat during Russia's military campaign in Syria, and the remainder are due to be delivered by 2028. The unnamed pilot radioed he was in trouble and took the plane away from Komsomolsk-on-Amur and surrounding suburbs and villages, say reports. One report said he was 'not injured' but others said he had been taken to hospital. The single-seat, twin-engine multirole aircraft is equipped with advanced avionics and a variety of high-precision weaponry. According to TASS, the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter is designed to destroy all types of air, ground and naval targets. The aircraft has a supersonic cruising speed, carries armament inside its fuselage, features stealth coating and the latest onboard equipment. It is reputed to have high manoeuvrability but most data on the warplane remains top secret. * |

Attacking and defending bombers is out, ground attack is done by missles fired from drones, ship attack is done by missles from other ships, dogfighting is done by missles fired from 20 miles away. What is the payoff for super manuvourability? |

Eisenhower warned of the 'military industrial complex'...members of congress are desperate for federal dollars and will vote for any weapon than has even the slightest chance of military use as long as the money is spent in their state/district...and just try to get a weapon system cancelled!! * |

It is reputed to have high manoeuvrability but most data on the warplane remains top secret. Update: 2:38 AM PST— TASS reports that a flight control system failure caused the crash, with one source stating it had to do with the aircraft's tail control surfaces. Interfax reports the aircraft was the first production Su-57 ever and it was supposed to be delivered to the Russian Air Force by year's end. If this is the case, it would be a significant blow to the program on a number of levels. We will update this article with more information as it comes available. Update: 6:40 AM PST— TV Zvezda, an official outlet of the Russian Ministry of Defense, says that Su-57 exploded when it hit the ground and was totally destroyed. Multiple outlets are also now reporting that aircraft was indeed the first serial production example. State-run media outlet RIA Novosti has reported that the mishap occurred during an engine test, but it remains unclear if engine trouble was the actual cause of the accident. Some Russian media reports have pointed to a potential failure in the Su-57's engine control system, but TASS continues to report that its sources say the issue was in the flight control system. * |
