Is Su-57 faster than F-35?
The Su-57 is faster, with a top speed of Mach 2 compared to the F-35’s Mach 1. Ans. The Su-57 is significantly cheaper, costing around $35–$40 million, while the F-35 costs between $80-$115 million. And India even refused to buy the Felon at a heavily discounted rate. The reason that no one is buying the Su-57 is because the aircraft is neither Stealthy or highly advanced. The Su-57 suffers from 2 major reasons. The first and most important is that the Su-57 is highly maneuverable but in no way is it Stealthy.The Su-57 is not new to India. The IAF had partnered in its development through the PAK-FA programme, investing nearly $290 million before walking away. At the time, the assessment was clear: the aircraft lacked true fifth-generation qualities. Its stealth fell well short of American benchmarks like the F-22 or F-35.
Can an F-16 beat a Su-57?
As a fifth-generation fighter with stealth capabilities, the Su-57 would be more than a match for the F-16. In the Su-57’s design, Sukhoi cited the Lockheed Martin F-22 as the baseline for a supermaneuverable stealth fighter, but addressed what the bureau considered to be the limitations, such as the inability to use thrust vectoring to induce roll and yaw moments, a lack of space for weapons bays between the engines .
Can S-400 take down F-35?
It can almost certainly detect, acquire and destroy an F-35 further away than previous systems, but the odds of it being able to do so from enough range (which would have to be at least some 50 miles which is SDB/JSOW range) are pretty low. The S-400 SAM System radar can detect the F-22 and F-35 but it can’t achieve “weapons lock” on them. Eric Wicklund, former US Navy Operations Specialist, explains on Quora; ‘Yes, it can… “eventually,” but this fact comes with a significant caveat, one Russia doesn’t want you to know.
