I think that’s just what they done. Looks like they took the canopy from the Su-30 and superglued it on.
Is it real tho?
Seems to be, they talked about making a twin-seat for the export market for a while now. Apparently there’s a patent for it too but not sure if this is real or not.
It looks pretty close to what has been seen so far.
Apparently will either be designated the Su-57D, UB, or ED.
Feel free disagreeing but for a twin seater this doesn’t look too bad.
on early prototypes r77-1 with folding fins was use but the folding mechanism was unreliable so they developed r77m with standard fins
isn’t the Su-57 completely overhyped? by the Russian Military?
It certainly isn’t as great as some make it out to be. But also isn’t as trash as some people claim, so the truth is probably somewhere in the middle
r77m is in service what do you mean shelved there are literal pictures of them being used on su35
