Russian President Vladimir Putin examines the country’s latest fifth-generation fighter jet, the SU-57, alongside Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The two even discussed the potential purchase of these planes by Ankara - a NATO member.
These jets were created to rival the US’s best planes of this era, the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. The SU-57 received Russia’s latest weapons, as well as the latest fighter jet technologies, thus allowing these planes to fly at speeds of up to 2,000 km/h while manoeuvring in the skies.
