Why do Russia keep producing engines with small incremental improvements why not just take the time to develop the best possible engine and fit it?
1500kgf increase in thrust isnt a small increment while basically keeping the same fuel consumption
that is an increase of 10% for the afterburning thrust and a 20% increase for dry thrust

Yeah it’s missing the classic Rafale trait of being able to re-organize it’s atoms to avoid missiles, trees, and any other sort of threat.

Dude the Rafale is literally unplayable.
The Radar literally picks up everything, The MICAs are horrible, the FM is terrible, the HMD sucks, the MAWS uses up all your flares…
We really need MICA NG.
Also nerf the AMRAAM and replace all R-77-1 with base R-77.

1000kgf. AL-41F-1 on Su-57 is rated 15000kgf, AL-41F-1S is 14500kgf. But 177 and 177S feature reduced inlet diameter of 905mm compared to AL-41F-1 932mm
confirmation of 177 engine

i wonder what they did to fit engine with smaller intake diameter into an airframe designed for AL-41F1

I was talking with someone in WT chat and they bought up that the Su-57 has a bad side-on RCS, and that the AL-51 was causing issues with flying. Does anyone have sources to back up or disprove this?
Looks to me as if he is the one that needs to bring proofs.
