PKS of the Russian Federation received new SU-57, but not 12 units: experts found a lie of propagandists

In fact, the December party could include up to four aircraft. This contrasts sharply with the loud statements of the Russians for 2023, which discussed the elimination of various "narrow places" in the production process. On December 26, Russian propagandists reported that the Russian Air Force forces received 12 new Su-57 fighters. Meanwhile, Polish military expert Macieus Shopa in Defense 24 expressed doubts about the number of aircraft produced, and named completely different figures.

The publication states that the Russian statement that they managed to double the annual issue of these machines is a purely propaganda action. "The number of cars is traditionally not disclosed, but only one plane was depicted on the materials that accompanied this event," the expert said. The only place where the SU-57 is made is the production line of Yuri Gagarin plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

According to experts, the shopa writes, the first supply of fighters took place in September, and their number - within four cars. "Thus, on scale, it was similar to the December Party discussed. All SU-57 supplies will end with two to four aircraft this year," the expert said. He added that regardless of whether only two or even four cars were put this time, it was a decrease in the rate of supply compared to last year.

At that time, the Russians managed to assign six SU-57, which contrasts sharply with loud statements for 2023, in which it was planned to refine the production process and eliminate various "narrow places" in the form of limited supply of components. "The decline in production is probably not so much the economic problems of Russia as the problems with the supply of high -tech components from the West, especially electronics," Shopa emphasized.
