On Christmas Day last month, it was announced by Russian state media that a regiment in the Russian Southern Military District received quite a notable “present” – it was the first batch-produced Sukhoi-57 Felon multi-role fifth-generation fighter jet. At least another four of the jets could be provided to the Aerospace Force this year.
“The Aerospace Force has obtained the first batch-produced Sukhoi-57 plane,” a source in the defense industrial complex told Tass. “It was delivered to a regiment in the Southern Military district.”

No, because it’ll never see the F-22. The first indication that Russian will have that F-22s are in the area is when the master alarm sounds for the incoming missile.

From the looks of it, the Felon’s heat signature must be significant due to its old school engines. The F-22’s engines are recessed which would reduce its heat signature, right?

If the Soviets can mass-produce it, it will change the structure of our world

Sorry. I watched the video. I see nothing really impressive. If its a killer, its all in armaments. Todays dogfights will be miles from each other.

No country could compete with the F-15.
In simulated dogfights THREE F-15’s were no match for an F-22.
Russia now has an F-22 killer? NO WAY.
To: Onthebrink
This assumes that the chicoms (and all their subservient nations like America) go to war with Russia...

The Su-57 is optimized for frontal-area Stealth only. It is designed as a strike fighter, not an air superiority fighter.
It won't even be hunting F-22s, let alone kill them.

America has a F22 killer.
His name is Obama DUBYA. There, fixed it. Dubya and Rumsfeld refused to order new jets, but left it to the "next administration" to decide if they wished to revive the program or let it end.
Lockheed Martin, builder of the F-22, didn't put up any fight to kill off the F-22, because they saw their new F-35 program as a much, much larger money maker for them. F-35s were authorized for international sale, whereas the F-22 was not.
