Yes one man pilot can handle the work of controlling a UAV but its not ideal the S-70 seems to be a bit of a attack platform so it may be okay. The Decal of the twin seater had the S-70 on it with some other drone there are also the Chinese drones which look to be more of a fighter then strike drone also all the fighters China has modified into drones. There is also the fact automating a plane is much more easier apparently then a car as planes are basically automated already. Fighter planes with there software can tell friendly aircraft apart from enemy adding more sensors is something that can be done to provide better situational awareness then just a pilot. AAM missiles are basally a very simple version of this sensor input to action output. Ground drones that think have to deal with so much more data that its hard to automate them with every situation human brains have the same issue with information overload we always simplify our surroundings so you can overlook very basic things like who is friendly or not which way something is moving. AI powered loitering munitions have the same issue around targeting as dazzling camo is back in style trying to mess up the targeting data not really a new issue though. The Survivability onion works better it seems on the ground then in the air concerning AI everyone is kind of equal. Drones need human input no matter what for tactical input (go here, defend this area, stop what you are doing, help defend the command plane!)
funny quote about AI “Any AI that is to be trusted with weapons capable of killing hundreds, needs to be so intelligent that it cannot be trusted at all”
The solution is simple give it to a AI that you don’t trust :-) therefore you can trust it to never work against you B1 battle droids in Star Wars make perfect sense then don’t they lol.

Zeon Zum Deikun was a visionary to bad he had a heart attack thank God the Zabi’s carry his flame :-) nothing can go wrong right?
Only T-50-4 tested hmd if I rmb correctly, have not heard anything else about HMD on production felon but I think it has something to do with Russian pilots preferring hud over hmd but I am lacking the source for this
Because the ZSh-7A, the white helmet doesn’t have a built-in head mounted display as other more modern helmets—It’s a Soviet-made helmet afterall. It relies on the Shchel-3UM to have a functional head mounted display. As others 5th generation airplanes, the Su-57 fleet will have a exclusive helmet with integrated head mounted display:
In many videos regarding the su-57 I have yet to see the HMD being deployed but I suppose they could be used only for specific combat operations. But if there’s pictures or videos of HMDs deployed I’ll quickly correct my stance.
Schel-3UM isn’t used anymore iirc, it was replased with Sura and NSTS-T. But in general Russian pilots don’t bother with installing it on their helmets. One of the Su-35 pilots said that you don’t really need it in modern combat, and tall box ACM is more than enough 95% of time when WVR combat is taken into consideration.
Ive gotten lost in this confusion too, nobody knows what the hell engine they want to equip the Su-57 with. Ahhhhh ive heard enough put an RD-33 in it.
