Critical shortage of American fighters in battle with Russian Su-57 is named

The authors of the publication "Military Review" called the critical shortcoming of American F-22 fighters in battle with

Russian Su-57. They will be able to detect a Russian plane only after entering the zone affected by its missiles.

Journalists noted that one of the mainfeatures of the Su-57 is stealth technology. Here, one of the defining parameters is the effective scattering area (ESA) - a quantitative measure of the scattering of electromagnetic waves. This indicator is associated not only with the stealth of the fighter itself, but also with the distance from which the aircraft is tracked by the enemy’s onboard radar.

Earlier, the creator of the Su-57 said that the EPRis equal to 0.3 sq.m. In this case, the Russian aircraft is inaccessible to the avionics of American fifth-generation fighters at medium ranges. For the F-22 to be able to detect the Su-57 in the sky, it will have to enter the zone of destruction with the weapons of the Russian fighter. And this is a risk for an American plane.
