“Cannot be attributed to a new generation”: in Chinese Sohu, the Russian Su-57 was called the “flat Su-27”
The Chinese media published another material about the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-5. The author on the pages of the military section of the Sohu portal is trying to compare different ratings of this combat aircraft, which is being prepared for deployment to the Russian Armed Forces.
To begin with, the author cites the opinion of a certain part of Chinese users, including experts, that the Su-57 cannot be classified as a new generation of fighters.
From the article:
Further, the author actually makes it clear that he adheres to the same opinion himself:
After that, the author gives the opinions of those who are inclined to attribute the Su-57 to the 5th generation fighters. The article notes that Russian fighters receive second-stage engines that have high performance and are capable of providing the aircraft even greater maneuverability.
From the article:
At the same time, the author notes that the advantage of the Su-57 can manifest itself only if it "literally collides head-on-head" with the F-22 or F-35. “In other cases, the Su-57 will be detected by American fighters.”
In user comments, it is noted that it is generally difficult to consider the parameters and performance characteristics of a fighter, which has not yet been adopted, since real data can simply be classified.
