In December 2020, the first Sukhoi Su-57, codenamed Felon by NATO, entered service with the Aerospace Forces, making it Russia’s most recent combat aircraft. It is a multirole aircraft combining the functions of both a fighter and strike aircraft, with design features that include stealth, supersonic cruising speed and maneuverability, the latest sensors and weaponry, and network-centric warfare capability. Fully illustrated with over 170 full-color photographs, this book describes the trials of the T-50 prototypes and the implementation of the Su-57 into series production, as well as looking at the design, characteristics and combat capabilities of this fifth-generation fighter.

For the Gamer/Modeler/Military Enthusiast, this is a very interesting book.

The Gamer gets all the basic info- enough to make this a F-35 crusher.

For the Modeler- this photo collection is just so useful- especially as the main "camo" pattern for the bird is one of those newfangled pixilated types.

For the Military Enthusiast-this is one of the few books in the west on this topic- although one can expect more, if this type does manage to serve Russia into the 2030s. It is a nice package on this type - one that may become a player on the world stage.
