New images of the Sukhoi Su-57 (NATO Code: Felon) on the production line have emerged. During the visit of Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu, the fifth-generation hunting bomber Su-57, was pictured. The images show the Su-57’s 101KS-V infrared search-and-track (IRST) targeting system installed in the nose.

The platform, which has a body mainly produced using titanium alloy and composite materials, is coated with paint that absorbs radar signals. The plane's ammunition is placed in the transport areas inside the hull.

In December 2019, the Su-57 plane crashed during a test flight. In the coming days, Russian officials said the next generation of aircraft would be equipped with many new weapons.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in July (2020) that they had purchased 76 Su-57 fighter jets.

Deliveries are scheduled to be completed by 2028.
