only other i can think of is the su34 or the M-55
The only recon i can think of for su57 is detection of radar emissions fron sams, since its electronics are much better than the ones on the su34 and su35.
could be also radar detection seeing how A-50 awacs has done badly

Also from my reputable sources, that probably was not a s71…
alright nice to know, thanks
I am not sure what it is, but I doubt it is s71m
look at the wing cord, on the weapon mounted to the Su-57, the cord is noticeably less than the width of the body (you cant see the trailing edge of the other side wing in either image), while in the video the chord is noticeably longer than the width of the body
also that video has a very significant jump cut, and picks back up in a different place (and looks like slightly lower quality); hard to tell if its just down the road or two different videos spliced
drones and satellites, they are definitely not sending a very expensive manned platform close to the front lines at high enough altitude for recon
Probably bm-35 or geran 3/4, not su57 related
Wouldnt be suprised if it provides sam locations via radar emmision detections for other platforms for SEAD purposes, su34 electronics are quite bad.
maybe? but I would think A50 or other similar more dedicated platforms would do that
its me who edited it so i can make it no offensive but here the source if you want

State of current A50s are quite sad
the explosion is quite big for a 90kg head tbh
thanks, but that still has a huge jump cut
look at the shape of the end of the trees when it turns onto the road and when the video cuts back
it very clearly is a different spot as in the first location the trees dont continue perpendicular to the road and it doesnt look like there is anywhere in frame earlier where there are trees like that
and it clearly isnt smoke because in the earlier shot the smoke is blowing quickly in a direction where it would visibly move in the later shot
edit: there is also a second cut later in the video, and in that time it is either a spliced video of a different road or the road turns ~30 degrees, which seems odd for the kind of area seen in the video due to farmland/fields and their surrounding roads generally being based on 90 degree angles
after the second cut the video quality also is massively reduced
you mean sources like the bulgarian military? which again is heavily russian biased.
I dont read any mainstream media, those are just some obvious things, we know ukraine gets a ton of intel from the west, a week after the war started the CIA director visited the country, which is a big sign of how deep the cooperation is, you can see NATO and US intel and logistics planes flying around all the time, and we pick up smaller bits of info from that, backing it up with verifiable stuff, videos, photos, anything
and your point is? it has nothing todo with the f22’s or su57’s service history
So forgive me but none of what you have said is really convincing that it has a better radar suite than the f-22 especially given you never really put anything out their for the stats on the f-22 other then when you seem to be making a small attempts at showing us why despite the f-22 seemingly having a better version of whatever it actually isn’t.
there’s footage out there if you really want to find it you probably could, but the munition used had variable sweep wing, in it’s final attack phase the wings were swept back quite significantly. It could be either variant of the S-71 either M or K but we’ll never know unless someone digs deeper if they really want to.
Either way, both versions of the missile are in fact pictured on the hardpoints of the Su-57 which is sufficient enough I think.
still doubt that, geometry doesnt seem to quite match
also not mentioned above wingtip shape and wing length dont seem to quite match
Here a source where the no edited footage has been released

that is the same as before
it picks up after the first cut, and still has the second cut
