Yes, they most definitely are. Do you have any idea what a stator is?
And… Why does this matter?
Does this look like an engine with variable inlet guide vanes?
The fuck does that look like?
Maybe… Vanes? That are situated in the fan inlet? That themselves have variable elements to help modulate flow across the fan face?
Variable inlet vanes, right?
Jesus christ you’re clueless.
Those are not variable inlet guide vanes, those are just inlet guide vanes buddy. You said variable inlet guide vanes, you also said earlier that those are not compressor blades. Which is it? Get your story right lil bro
“ Those aren’t compressor blades on production models, it would be the inlet blocker specifically designed for the Su-57’s intake.
Even if the engine WERE exposed (which it isn’t as shown), you wouldn’t see compressor blades at all. It’s hard to take you seriously when you’re ignorant of the most basic fundamentals of a turbofan.” these are your words lil buddy, so confident on being wrong. Variable inlet guide vanes actuate to better redirect airflow. Those are static as they do not move. You’re in denial, it’s okay. You can overcome it lil buddy.
Yes, the kind that move. Variably. Hence them being, yknow, CIVVs?
I never once said such, I said they aren’t stators. You seem to have entirely forgotten that and are now picking up what I’ve told you and running with it.
It’s not hard to say you were wrong.

T-50s are different between themselves, they were made to test different components for the SU57, which is why some have longer tail booms and whatever.
Bringing one of the T-50s prototypes – even if without grates in place – to argue that the final SU57 doesn’t have them either (to ultimately argue it isn’t stealth) doesn’t really fly when we have images of the blockers installed on another T-50:
The YF23 was considered a stealthier design than its competitor, didn’t use radar blockers at all, and it didn’t make use for super distorted S-ducts like the YF-22/F22 either:
The screw argument also doesn’t hold water anymore:
So, I’ll stop here since this is the F22 thread, but it’s almost 2026, fellas, all those ‘not stealth’ because screw/fan blades arguments have long been discredited

I see the future (2027) and it’s bright.

My friend, they didn’t add the Meteor missile. The Meteor missile is quite common and widely used, and yet we don’t see it in the game. This is a clear example that WT is still far behind. the F-22 Raptor is still a long way from being added.
They could. In a year…
Yes, they can, but they won’t because of the current state of the game. we need a rework of the game modes.

they can’t add Meteor / AIM-120D without proper maps,…
also, it doesn’t means shit to add an AIM-120D if it gets the same seeker than AIM-120A
so stop the powercreep, and start ask for bug fixing instead
They wouldn’t listen, maybe if we were from China.
okay that we have concrete info that it’s better than the other 120s tho for seekerhead, it gets 2 way dl and gps
yes,… i agree with you,… but currrent seekers of AIM-120B/C are not yet in-game,… they have placeholders.
if those got their own seekers, the game will quickly turn into long-range BVR
Bug-fixing is the way to bring true balance to this game
powercreeping the game is the way to destroy the game (or to the dark side, your call)
You know what i mean from different other threads,… it’s not about getting one plane standing out while everyone keeps crying,… it’s about getting this game with meaningful systems instead of the mediocre current ones.

No you just lack any knowledge of modern and classic aircraft.
You probably also smell of Tangy Cheese Doritos when Cool Original is clearly the better option and you’re a Swiftie.
