World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Simulations like Dcs using all known data also they only have about 6 of those planes anyways. Russian equipment is a joke they are using donkeys in Ukraine ffs.
Su-57 is not in DCS. Not without modding done by random people on the internet. LOL.
Lets look at actual data.
The Su-57 is the only fighter jet in service that has DIRCM. This provides it with protection against IR-guided missiles. These would be the main threat to the Su-57. This is because the Su-57 has a very low RCS meaning radar-guided missiles would have a hard time targetting it.
We know the Su-57 has a very low RCS thanks to radar scattering simulations. It is slightly less stealthy compared to an F-35 but still far more stealthier compared to 4th generation aircraft like the Eurofighter Typhoon. An F-35 would only be capable of seeing the Su-57 on its radar 30 miles away. The Su-57 would actually be able to spot the F-35 sooner due to its L-band radar which the F-35 lacks. RAM has no effect against L-band radar. The L-band radar can provide the rough location of the F-35 allowing the Su-57's X-band radar to use that rough location to guide a concentrated set of beams towards the area to accurately detect the target and guide a missile against it. People like to bring up the Patent but the Patent explicity stated the RCS did not account for RAM.
People like to bring up the lack of an S-duct. The Su-57 solves this problem with the use of a radar blocker.
The Su-57 also has the deepest internal weapons bays out of any fifth generation aircraft. It can carry four air-launched cruise missiles (specifically the Kh-69 and Kh-59MK2).
Su-57 as stated earlier also has L-band radar unlike other fifth generation aircraft which means its radar-guided missiles are actually a threat to stealth aircraft unlike the F-35's radar-guided missiles.
This is not to say the Su-57 can ace the entire F-35 fleet. The F-35 was made that way on purpose. It is a single-engined aircraft (meaning less capable but cheaper) allowing Western countries to have a shit load of them. The Su-57 is more akin to the F-22. A twin engined high performance but expensive aircraft. Despite this, Russia is actually not that outnumbered in terms of fifth generation aircraft if you do not include the US. Including the US, the West has over a thousand of them compared to the mere dozens Russia has.
Russia also has more than 6. Production peaked at 12 per year with Russia having 21 serial produced aircraft. Russia did open another production facility which will double production to 24 per year.
The German Armed Forces still uses donkeys for transporting equipment in rugged terrain. The German Army even issues an entire handbook for the use of donkeys in combat. The US military also used unpaid donkey slaves in Afghanistan due to the rugged terrain and also used donkeys in Iraq.
Donkeys are being used because of mud season.
The Ukrainians also use animals:
Ukrainians using horse sleds as transport
Ukrainians riding on bicycles and horse carriages
Ukrainians using horse carriage
Ukraine transporting supplies via horses
The Felon was bad enough they couldn't sell it full stop and production is already over at a handful of units. Yes the rcs was estimated but it still lost those sims despite having a much lower rcs than the Typhoon.
Point is it's probably the worst stealth plane in the world against a fighter like an f-35 or even a Chinese J-20 it wouldn't even launch a missile.
All Russian hyped tech has proven to be very bad when actually used is the point, they claim to be a superpower but they aren't and never will be again.
Your simulations are literally random mods for DCS.
Production is not over. Russia plans to produce Su-57Ms this year. Su-57M upgrades the Su-57 with sixth generation technology including AI and drone integration.
Su-57 already received its first order from a foreign country. Algeria has ordered Su-57Es.
By the time Russia makes any meaningful numbers the rest of us will be in Tempests, FCAS and NGAD. I'd be Suprised if they can make any more actually given it's 14 years old anyway and most people class it as 4.5 gen.
Why should Russia produce its own NGAD when Su-57M already integrates 6th generation technology including AI and drones to the Su-57?
What? You don’t make sense. Su-57 entered production in 2021 and production peaked in 2023 with 12 being produced. Russia started retooling the production facilities for Su-57M production in 2024 which is the reason why only 6 were produced in 2024. Russia constructed a new production facility made entirely for Su-57M production. This means production should at least double to 24 per year. Although it will probably more than double to maybe 36 or more per year as the Su-57s had to share the assembly line with Su-35s in the first production facility.
