I'm somehow thinking the best Sukhoi's are made in China. How does the Shenyang J-16 compare with the Sukhoi Su-35?
Thoughts on the Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate? First flight planned for 2024…. Yeah right.According to this article F-22 radar cross section is less than 1% of Su-57.
Stealth Fighter Showdown: Russia's Su-57 vs. the F-22 Raptor (Who Wins?)
Evidence suggests that only a small quantity of PAK FAs will enter Russian service this decade—too few to alter the balance of airpower in the near term.nationalinterest.org
Would this translate to Turkey shoot in an actual war?
So if the Ukrainians had fired an aircraft carrier at it the story may have been different ?The Moskva class was supposed to be a carrier group killer.
We've all seen just how fearsome and invincible it turned out to be...

Errr, the Moskva class was an ASW platform. I don't remember it having any weapons that could attack a carrier. Well, I guess you could use the FRAS-1's to kill a carrier, if you could get close enough.
Or do you mean the (recently demised) ship renamed Moskva, a Slava class cruiser? Then yes, in the 1970's (when it was designed) and into the 1980's (commissioned in 1982) it was a threat to the carrier. I remember training exercises specifically modeled around a Slava centered attack group, in combination with Blinder and Backfire support. But, 40 years later, not so much. And any ship, caught asleep at the wheel or in limiting waters, is little more than a target, no matter how lethal it might be to other ships.
T!
This is a picture of the upper wing surface of an SU-57. It almost looks like it was produced by a carpenter using wood screws. How stealthy could this be?According to this article F-22 radar cross section is less than 1% of Su-57.

And what are you showing us? Is this a crack verified by penetrant inspection? Is the paint flaking off prematurely? Is there a any other indication of failure?China builds a much better quality product.
Sukhoi 'quality' can be very variable
Thats inside a brand new Sukhoi Superjet 100 wing
That's why if it's not Boeing, I ain't going!China builds a much better quality product.
