According to Russian military expert Alexey Leonkov, the Su-57’s arrival and airstrikes on rebels in Syria without being exposed proved the aircraft’s pro capacity.

The statement was said by expert Alexey Leonkov in an interview with Baltnews: “The Su-57 has a complete set of weapons, highly mobile, fast speed and can fly for a long time at supersonic speeds, and there are no rivals when it comes to powering up. In terms of radio electronics, one head higher than the American F-35 and F-22”.

Su-57 stealth fighters appear in Syria.

The expert reiterated that when the Su-57 was tested in Syria, no U.S. radar, which was very much in the region, could catch Russian fighters. With the F-35, on the contrary, not only Russian ground radar detected, but also aircraft.

The airstrike was carried out by su-57s while traveling to Syria in 2018 when the truck carrying Syrian rebel gunmen was hit while traveling north of the Al-Ghaab highlands. The truck was destroyed and three Jaish al-Nasr (Turkish-backed) rebel gunmen were killed while in the town of Al-Ankaweh.

The special thing is that 200,000 Syrian rebel gunmen and Turkish and American radar systems had not detected any fighters before the lightning strike.

Initially, it was suggested that the airstrike may have been carried out by the Russian UCAV. But at that time, in the Russian arsenal, UCAV that could operate at long range still seemed absent.

The next possible assumption is that another UCAV used by Russia in the air raid was the Okhotnik UAV. However, the other the least reasonable assumption was that the Russian Su-57 5th generation fighter was quietly present and carried out this breakthrough attack.

Eventually, su-57 information appeared and the current airstrikes in Syria were confirmed by Russia but not once that the Su-57 made two appearances in Syria without being detected by any U.S. radar systems in the region.

At that time, the Su-57 launched a Kh-59MK2 air-to-surface missile at the rebels. In addition, the Su-57 also carried another missile, the Kh-58USHKE, but the weapon was only tested for certain features, not fired.

All information and photos of the mysterious firing carried out by the Su-57 were only known when the Russian Air Force itself was announced. The appearances have surprised not only the US but all stakeholders in Syria.
