Purpose and Main Tasks
Su-57E is the fifth-generation frontline aviation multi-task system designed for a wide range of combat tasks in the process of attacking airborne, ground and surface targets. The aircraft may be used day-and-night under all-weather conditions in a heavy jamming environment.
The main combat properties
The main combat properties making it different from the previous generation air systems are as follows: -
stealthiness of actions due to low visibility within the radar wavelength band, inclusive of avionics operation and armament usage;
-
high jamming resistance of the avionics and aircraft armament system, inclusive of interaction with the automated control systems of different arms;
-
long supersonic flight mode with a wide range of available onboard weapons.
In addition, superiority over the 4++ generation aircrafts is ensured with regard to the following combat properties: -
automation and high intellectualization of combat operations;
-
multi-task capability;
-
omni-direction coverage and multi-channel capability of weapon delivery, usage of high-precision “long arm” weapon;
-
supermaneuvrability and supersonic maneuverability.
