 Russia’s Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet soared into the skies on the first day of Airshow China in Zhuhai, marking the world premiere of its export modification and attracting significant interest from airshow attendees, a TASS correspondent reported from the event.

The fighter, piloted by merited test pilot and Hero of Russia Sergey Bogdan, demonstrated an aerobatic maneuver during the international airshow in China.

Earlier, Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Russia’s state tech corporation Rostec, stated that the Su-57 is the only fifth-generation aircraft globally that has demonstrated its exceptional performance characteristics in all combat scenarios. The fighter also boasts impressive survivability due to its low radar signature and advanced onboard defensive systems.

Rostec highlighted that the Su-57E export modification is a key attraction of Russia’s exposition at Airshow China, emphasizing its ability to deploy advanced precision weapons and its minimal radar signature.
