what the hell are those missiles anyway???

the centerline looks too much like the MICA and the side bays seem to be holding the K-30 lmao

Both are just photoshops, actual photos of internal bays of su-57 don’t exist in public

i think theyre real lol
no reason to hide the internal bays as even the F-22, 35 and Su-47s internal bays are public

They’re too small, Raleigh scattering negated any harmful returns.

To be completely fair the latest production Su-57s do appear to make less extensive use of RAM paint or coatings. Perhaps they are not wasting resources at the moment and waiting for the mid life overhauls on Su-57M instead of spending more now on soon to be obsolete variants.

For things like R-77-1s, yes. The R-77M, however, can fit 6 internally.
Think of it like the 120C-3 vs 120B

How so?

You can quite literally see a configuration with 8 missiles in these images… x2 R-73 in both small weapons bays and x6 R-77Ms.

What’s 6 + 2?

Mb didn’t see the third missile in each bay

So basically same thing as F-35 has, but they call it radar instead of self-defence system to look cooler (and i suppose they lie about it’s capabilities as they usually do?)

You forgot that the X-02 strike wyvern can literally pull flips around the f-22 (LOL) :P

Pretty much.

They are radars? Both use them for ECM and detection.

What?
