Full Specifications

Su 57E Export Stealth Fighter Jet

The Su 57E is Russia’s export variant of its fifth generation stealth fighter, designed to compete in the high end global combat aircraft market. Built for air dominance and precision strike missions, the aircraft blends low observability, high speed, and advanced sensors into a multirole platform aimed at nations seeking an alternative to Western stealth fighters.

The Su 57E is intended for air superiority, strike, and intelligence missions. It features a blended airframe with internal weapons bays to reduce radar visibility. The fighter is powered by twin turbofan engines with three dimensional thrust vectoring, giving it strong close combat performance.

Avionics include an AESA radar suite with distributed sensors covering frontal and side sectors. An infrared search and track system allows passive target detection, while sensor fusion improves pilot situational awareness. The cockpit supports a helmet mounted display and advanced flight automation.

Armament options include beyond visual range and short range air to air missiles, precision guided air to ground weapons, and a 30 mm internal cannon. The Su 57E is marketed as a flexible platform that can integrate customer selected weapons and communication systems.

For export customers, some stealth coatings and electronic warfare features may be limited. Despite this, the Su 57E remains one of the few non Western fifth generation fighters available for international sale.
