Su-57 much slower in supercruise though

Notice how i Said empty?. The Su-57 can carry a lot of fuel. But more important it the engine. Al41 has low dry thrust compare to the engine of the F-22 make sense it has also slower Super cruise. I don’t know if the figure of 1.3 super cruise of the Su-57 its with Al41 or Al51. I imagine its with Al-41 so with Al-51 it will have better super cruise speed. MIG23 now this engine stuff better.
Lastly even with it 1.3 SC speed. Su-57 boost a better range than the F-22. So was its this Copium about Super cruise?
If it’s loaded up with that much fuel, it’ll probably barely be able to supercruise in the first place.
And it’s probably the 51 engines since they’d want to give the best numbers
This figure of 1.3 is just made up anyway. Super cruise M number for any engine for Su-57 never was public.

Where was that air intake image taken from? Ace combat?
There’s a better image out there, but it’s literally a radar scatter screen like the F-117 had
Edit: Found the pic
I don’t think its the case. MIG23 in the Su-27 discussion said that the Su-35s can super cruise with AL-41. It don’t make sense that the Su-57 couldn’t SC with Al-41.
Hmm, the Eurofighter kicked the F-22´s ass in a dogfight…
Forgetting about IRST? Even then, they are similar in abilities.
The Su-57 is not stealthy. Its famous rcs is like that of the Su-27. And don’t forget that the F-22 appeared about 25 years ago.
In close combat?
It can, but it’s the AL-41F-1S, and your not accounting for it being heavier possibly?
You know what else happened about 27 years ago? The MiG 1.44/42. Only cancelled production because each unit cost was too high as it was completed after the fall of the Soviet Union.
This is why the Su-57 is not stealth. there are too many cracks and holes from which the signal will be reflected again.
Considering it’s a dogfight, I’d say yes.
Wow, you gonna reflect virtually no waves from a 1/4 inch gap between the fuselage and intake 😒
Not like the F-35 has those on its surface.
The F-22 sacrificed its maneuverability for the sake of stealth. It was created in order to launch missiles at the enemy before the enemy notices it.
Well, the Soviet Union had a smaller military budget than the United States.
Congrats, all your missiles use TWS, which pings RWR giving a precise location of your plane, there goes your stealth out the window, not to forget you can notch the AIM-120 like it’s an early radar missile from a long range.
Soviet Union was also communist/socialist…
Yes.
But the German Pilot said, he knows, in a real scenario, he wouldn’t even have the chance to get that close, coz the F-22 would have shot him down from 120km away…
hahaha a 120km shot on a EF Typhoon?
Good luck bro. Meteor can do it but AMRAAM? nope
also irl Fighter jets operate in tandem with AWACS and early warning radars. its a whole environment. good luck with stealth at any range closer than 50km. may you be russian or american. no stealth is impervious.
