4 that they are telling you about.

They can keep secrets just like the US can.

F117 was kept very quiet for a decade.

The Russians are modernizing the Su-57 into the Su-57M:

Seems to be more of use to them as test mules for technology than actual combat aircraft..I havent seen any news on them being involved in Ukraine .

There was a report they were used once or twice in Ukraine to do strike (!!!) missions.

Same heard rumours.Strike would make sense if the target had low AA protection..Wonder if NATO picked them up on radar?

The production Su-57 coating looks a lot better than the prototypes, but there still isn't any evidence that they're even close to the F-22 or F-35 in terms of RCS. So there's a pretty good chance that the AWACS in the area did.

More Su-57 delivered:

There's a video of an Su-57 strike in Lugansk oblast, Ukraine blowing up a bridge. I'll try to find it to post. Not sure it's really a Su-57 though rather than a photoshop job. Engine noise sounds off.

Su-57s have been used in Ukraine, but at standoff ranges. Can't be much of a wunderwaffe if the Ukrainian air force is still flying:

Ukrainian air force is only flying behind its S-300 shield. This is a testimony to how powerful the S-300 is more than to how weak the Russian Air Force is.

NATO has nothing like it.

This video has some of the best declassified material on Su-57 to work through including visual proof of airframe stress tests and audible proof of speed and altitude capabilities (that I still have to calculate and work through) and tertiary proofs of radar capabilities. For instance the Su-57 has about 1550 T/R modules in its AESA the NO36, the F-35s APG-89 has about 1660 T/R modules. Just a comparison, we don't know specifics of either modules yet.
