In our series on fifth gen aircraft, we have looked at several foreign designs. We have seen Turkeys TF KAAN project, South Koreas KF21, India’s HAL AMCA, and China’s J20 and J31. Thus far, South Korea’s design appears to have the best technology and experience behind it, or at least at its immediate disposal, while China’s J20 has the most funding and manufacturing ability supporting it.

Today we turn to Russia, who has produced two nextgen designs. The latest is the Su75 Checkmate a design whose future is uncertain – and the other is the Su57 Felon, an older aircraft already in service, designed as competition for the F35 and F22.
