300 km is the limit for Missile Technology Control Regime. - Russia is trying to export these missiles, so the range is limited to below 300 km. For their own use, it may have a larger range.

Well until i found your channel and many other unbiased channels/less biased ones i was in the same shoes of all the people propagandized by everything.

Yes my western superiority complex "we definately have no propaganda, we are great" forced me to be an ignorant fool, but not anymore and the old joke of soviets fits our times very well

An interview with a Soviet engineer who defected to USA:
Int: What shocked you the most when you arrived in the USA?
Eng: I was surprised by the sheer volume of propaganda here.
Int: But surely, there is significantly more propaganda in USSR!
Eng: Absolutely, but no one there takes it seriously.

The original SU-57 videos was how I started watching. This is the only channel I support financially. The best analysis of any channel regarding fighter aircraft.

[skariaxil]

I think there is some sense in sending Su-35s with an Su-57. The airspace they're in is heavily watched by NATO assets, but at a long ways away. The Su-35s' radar signatures could drown out any returns from the Su-57, potentially allowing russia to have the Su-57 fly missions without having their signature studied by NATO.

Aside from politics and actual performance, Su-57 is the most beautiful figther jet ever.

[MichaelE-n]

M7, I can honestly say you are the best military aircraft analyst I have watched on YouTube. As a fighter pilot I find your presentations extremely well researched, always balanced and very informative. I look forward to your next presentation.

You have to give it to the Russians, they know how to make beautiful and lethal aircraft. Love from the US

[CrysisMan]

I highly respect your channel. This is a very rare unbiased channel on the internet right now. Amazing work my man!

[--Dani]

Am I a Russian shill if I think the SU-57 is the second best looking aircraft in use after the Raptor.

[krisnaturati]

Now it's raining in Milan, but when a new video comes out it's always a wonderful day. Daje Otis

[Verdis_deMosays]

Nice to see someone knowledgeable who isn't just a Russian hater :)

[francescozambaldi]

Love your videos, i'm a huge military aviation fan and i'm always learning something from you!

[friki]

One explanation for flying Su/35s with SU57s is using them as "missile buses". The Su57s use their more advanced sensors to detect targets and the flankers (which can carry more or bigger weapons externally) do the shooting, maybe?

[markir]

Russian aircraft seem to bring out the worst aspects of our (i.e the West's) propaganda! I recall the fuss about the Mig-25: first it was the most scary plane ever, then after we got to examine one it was declared to be hopelessly flawed. Its operational history paints a picture that is right in the middle (i.e pretty good fast interceptor and usable in a few other roles as its speed made it very difficult to intercept).

The basic problem is that we are believing our own propaganda! In the old days it went like: oh - it is so good it is scary, then an about turn to :oh, it is crappy! Now is seems to be straight to: it is crappy! This means we are being continually surprised by the capabilities of Russian gear when met in combat. This is a stupid and dangerous attitude.

IDK how good it is, but it’s a gorgeous plane

[mathewphillips]

I rarely comment, however in this case I would like to.

The existing first stage engines of Su-57's are really good and Iz-30/AL-51F-1 is even better - whenever it is going to come in full scale production. <b>The main reason why they are not ramping up the production of Su-57 is that they do not need to do it right now !!!</b> The Russian Air Force has plenty of Su-35's, Su-30's, Su-34's and MiG 31BM's and S-400's, S-500's and other Air Defense systems - that are the best in the world.
Russia is fighting in the periphery of the Russian Federation and its airforce is intended to defend the motherland unlike the USAF which intends to fight thousands of kilometers away from the continental US and is used for force projection and full spectrum dominance. There is a difference in philosophies on how nations organize their armed forces - hence their priority in armament production.

Russia's production of armaments is HUGE that dwarfs the combined West. Do you disagree?


You have a tendency to compare apples and oranges and somewhere in all your videos when you talk about anything Russian, you have an inherent bias which you insert somewhere in your videos by mentioning - for example the backwardness of Russian electronics or the bulky radars, etc.

Can you compare the combat availability of F-22, F-35's or F-15's with Su-35, Su-30 and Su-57's? What are the hourly costs of flying each of US combat aircraft compared to Russian ones? What are the maintenance costs of each aircraft per flight hour?
Can you objectively analyze the reports of Indian, Malaysian and other airforces that operated or currently operates both Russian and American/Western aircraft?


Best wishes.

[bearbaler]

Thanks for your unbiased analysis. Having grown up in a NATO military family I know how biased many in the West are as to Russian science and engineering. Having learnt over the years about Russian space/military tech, it never ceases to amaze me how ingenious and resourceful the Russians are, and anyone who underestimates them, does so at their own peril. Would love to see you do a video on the RD-180 rocket engines and their NK 33 beginnings, a masterpiece of rocket science!

[Xeno]

Thats a nice flying shovel. Extremely good.

[foshizzlfizzl]

It was reported several times since 2023 that the engine is finished. The problem is the approval of the ministry of defense. It's still undergoing some evaluation tests. Let's see, what changes have to be made, and changes always have to be made, when the military is involved.

[YuryTimofeyev]

Very few have the courage to be unbiased nowdays.
