No shit, i think they are doing great with 160b budget, the only problem they got is they still didnt change their tactics to modern warfare like tank and ifv, and strike. The only good thing they got is strike capabilities with t22m3 kinzhal and su34 glide bomb
They have improved, systems like ISKANDER M, Ka-52M and yes modernising the FAB bombs and equipping glide and guidance kits has been a success.
I would also say the long range strike drones have also been a great success. It’s more the standout systems that have disappointed. T series tanks, truly awful, Pantsir (hit or miss) S-400
Anyway I have no doubt the Su-57 is will be good when it is realised just not sure in A2A it will match the F-22 or J-20
I dont think the su57 will based only for a2a as the su75 will be more advanced. For now they depend on the su35 heavily as su57 only get in close Frontline for a strike and air kill if it find one in its path, that said even the s70 system malfunction
Have they even revealed more about the Su-75 project recently? It seemed to me like they ran out of money and put the prototype on hold until someone came up with sufficient funding for the UAC to continue.
There is hope and its in development, you can see more on the @kizvy su75 forum, all we know is that the plane is built and will fight in early 2026, that all we know, from me. There will be thing i missed for sure
It is not built yet lol, it’s all mockups for now
One beautiful mockup
Su-75 from what i know is primarily for export.
Bogdan has said an interview if all goes well should/maybe see it fly early half next year. Not far but not exactly screaming “wow”
Su-75 i doubt is not for their own airforce.
obsessed, clearly I struck a nerve with that one
i really dont care at all lol, its just the crazy part from you calling propagnda while i dont have sides.
i love metal stick go vroom and brick fly. its you who went all the wester like its the most powerfull thing.

Unexpected questions from Russian experts are starting to emerge.

Translation
Russian multirole Su-35C fighters forced the American F-16s, which the West supplied to Kyiv, to fly at minimum altitudes and operate deep in the rear.
This was stated in an interview with TASS by the Director General of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov.
According to him, the Su-35C has effectively “pressed enemy aviation to the ground.”
He noted that the Russian aircraft is capable of hitting targets at long distances — we’re talking hundreds of kilometers.
“Therefore, enemy aircraft simply cannot reach the launch line for their air-to-air missiles. This applies to the American F-16s and the French Mirages as well,” Chemezov noted.
Of course, a logical question arises:
So who, then, has pressed the Su-35s and Su-57s to the ground and prevents them from approaching the launch line for their own hundreds-of-kilometers-range air-to-air missiles, forcing them to operate deep in the rear?
“Experts” lol
Dude, there’s a big difference between you misiterpreting the info and info being lies.
F.e. Moskva got sunk by an accidental fire according to non-western sources, I mean, it wasn’t really sunk, it’s being repaired in a secret dock, and almost nobody died in the incident!
Of course western sources may be overly optimistic or only showing successes while omitting defeats. But that’s a bit different than: no comrade, no missile, is cigarette.
A former RuAF WSO with real combat experience in Syria — is he not an expert?
Well, depends on an area. Like, i would trust this man on his knowledge about Su-34, but generalised takes on how airforce perfoms - i’d be skeptical.
Well, if he were the only one asking such questions — then it would make sense. But that’s not the case.
Who else asks?
It seems to me that anyone familiar with the actions of aviation in local conflicts.

Can you, like, provide proofs? Because right now i can only see you and Fighterbomber. You said that he’s not the only one who’s asking.
