how would the f-22 and Su 57th fare in a head-to-head engagement the design priorities of the two aircraft give the two aircraft different advantages of different ranges the su 57th priorities and armament lend themselves to detection and elimination of threats at long ranges key to this strategy the su 57th radar must be able to detect stealth jets at long ranges the aircraft's emphasis on speed allows it to respond quickly or back out quickly from fights it cannot win once the two opposing fighters close to visual range however the su 57s combination of maneuverability and infrared search and track will make it a lethal opponent Russia's official designation of the PA KF 8050 jet as the sukhoi su-15 7 is just another reminder that the field of fifth-generation fighters is about to get more crowded the United States China Russia Japan and Korea are all working on their own fifth-generation designs but so far only three planes the f-22 Raptor f-35 Joint Strike Fighter in the Chinese j-20 are operational increased tensions between the United States and NATO on one side and Russia on the other have people wondering once the SU 57 does become operational how will it stack up against the f-22 Raptor the f-22 Raptor started life as a dedicated or superiority fighter in the same vein as the f-15 sea eagle the aircraft it was originally slated to replace the aircraft was designed and built by Lockheed Martin which had early experience building the first operational stealth war claimed the f-117a Nighthawk stealth fighter in 1990 the prototype Y f-22 fighter engaged in a fly off with the northrop yf-23 Black Widow III and won the competition in large extent due to its emphasis on stealth and maneuverability stealth was a foundational feature of the f-22 and the plane stealthy profile was in part dictated by simulations done on the Cray supercomputer an early supercomputer the f-22 design maximized sensor evasion with diamond-shaped wings and sharp faceted surfaces [Music] the speed break weapon bay doors and engine exhausts are serrated to minimize the aircraft's radar signature on a large vertical canted tails reduce the fighters infrared signature from certain angles the aircraft's metallic surfaces are also coated with radar absorbent materials in paint the use of the Cray supercomputer helped make the f-22 highly maneuverable especially at high angles of attack a key f-22 feature is the use of thrust vectoring in the pitch axis allowing the aircraft to combine engine power with maneuver at high angles of attack to gain an advantage in dogfights the large bubble canopy was the largest single piece of polycarbonate made while the f-22 was in production and gave the pilot excellent visibility the combination of maneuverability and visibility mean a pilot can detect and react to visual range threats quickly and decisively the f-22 is powered by a pair of f119 afterburning turbofan engines that produces a total 70,000 pounds of thrust 40% more than the f-15 Eagle the engines allow the Raptor to super cruise at Mach 1.4 without afterburners enhancing the aircraft's range an important consideration for a plane that can't carry external fuel tanks into battle the aircraft primary sense or the anap g77 radar is designed to out range enemy threats detecting and classifying them before they detect the Raptor allowing the american jet to not only see first but shoot first [Music] the Raptor has three weapons base two of which can accommodate one aim-9 MX Sidewinder infrared guided missile in a second belly Bay that can accommodate six aim-120 amraam slammer radar guided missiles with a range of up to 65 miles the center Bay can also carry JD AM satellite-guided munitions are up to four 600 gallon fuel tanks the f-22 has m61 a two six-barreled 20 millimeter Gatling gun barrett in the right-wing route with enough ammunition for just under 5 seconds of sustained fire much less is known about the sukhoi su-15 7 despite 7 years of test flights many details about the aircraft remain unknown what is known isn't it sukhoi has struggled to develop the aircraft particularly key components such as the engine the first operational aircraft are slated to join the Russian aerospace forces in 2019 although both our fifth-generation fighters the SU 57 significantly differs in design philosophy from the f-22 Raptor in the key areas of speed maneuverability and stealth the Raptor emphasized maneuverability and stealth the SU 57 on the other hand places an emphasis on maneuverability and speed arguably making it similar to the yf-23 Black Widow III experts believe the su 57 is an evolution of the su-27 flanker shaped modernized for low radar observability but also even greater maneuverability aviation author piyo terbutaline that aircraft high static instability has much more maneuverability at supersonic speeds than any previous fighter the blended wind design increases internal volume for avionics fuel and weapons a major driver of the SU 57 s performance turrets two engines the Saturn eyes Dei 30 engines are each meant to generate between twenty four thousand 54 and thirty five thousand five hundred fifty six pounds of thrust with the high and in the same territory as the f-22 f100 engines these are meant to drive the fighter to speeds of up to Mach one point five and super cruise unfortunately the eyes Dei 30 is undergoing difficulties and as a result the first twelve of Moscow's new jets will be powered by a pair of Saturn L 41 f1 afterburning turbofans producing a combined 65,000 pounds of thrust the same engines that power the su-35 the Sioux 57 will equip at the end zero five six by Elka squirrel radar system and the L 402 electronic countermeasures suite L band arrays will be the fighters primary means of detecting stealth aircraft while it's shorter ranges to 101 KS at all electro-optical suite including an infrared search and track system will help the pilot track and engage targets with infrared guided missiles the zoo 57 has two large internal weapons bays arranged in tandem taking up virtually the entire usable length of the aircraft each Bay can carry up to 4k 77 and beyond visual range radar guided missiles compared to earlier versions of the K 77 NATO nicknamed a 812 Archer the K 77 m missile has a larger body and active electronically scanned array radar seeker allowing it to engage highly agile targets at ranges of up to 100 miles the aircraft also stores a pair of K 74 M to short range infrared guided missiles in under wing fairings how would the f-22 and Su 57th fare in a head-to-head engagement the design priorities of the two aircraft give the two aircraft different advantages of different ranges the su 57 s priorities and armament lend themselves to detection and elimination of threats at long ranges key to this strategy the su 57 s radar must be able to detect stealth jets at long ranges the aircraft's emphasis on speed allows it to respond quickly or back out quickly from fights it cannot win once the two opposing fighters close to visual range however the su 57 s combination of manoeuvrability and infrared search and track will make it a lethal opponent the f-22 Raptor on the other hand emphasizes stealth and maneuverability the f-22 can also detect adversaries at long ranges and provided it can evade enemy radar connect to set up an ambush before the enemy knows it is in the area thus the f-22 has more of a likelihood of gaining the initiative early on and winning the battle before the two Jets can come within visual range of one another key to the Raptors strategy the f-22 stealth must protect it from the prying eyes of Russian radars in a dogfight it's difficult to know who would prevail even we don't know how maneuverable the SU 57 is but the Russian jets infrared search and track systems something the American stealth fighter doesn't have will be a major bonus in combat the f-22 Raptor is an excellent world-beating aircraft that sits on the very top of the Haven the SU 57 is a challenger could prove as good in different ways and a worthy opponent for the first fifth-generation fighter to gain operational status if the two ever meet it will be a battle for the ages but our world will be much worse for it let's hope all we ever get to do is speculate about the meeting [Music] [Music]
