why doesnt the su57 have radar absorbing paint like f22, f35, j20 and j35 and other grey paint aircrafts have? did vodkaland make some materials advancement that they can have colorful paints which have good absorbing capability

Their paint is reportedly is of power quality but bigger concern is the design itself which is not stealthy by any means.

yeah, the engine fan blades are exposed and the intake outer side has 90 degree angle which will reflect a lot of incoming waves

Much stealthier than anything we have in our inventory.
Multiple reports and studies peg it around 0.5, more than enough to achieve our objectives.

People talk it down like we have a fuck ton of super stealthy alternatives.

With an r37m, it can take down Paki aircraft from well within our territory anyway.

Enough for ground attack missions near the loc/IB too.

For wvr engagements, there is nothing more maneuverable out there.

Its our best and more importantly, our ONLY option.

Unless you think a Rafale with a full external payload will do great against 5th gen fighters, lighting up in their radars like a beacon.

AL-51F1 is supposed to fix that problem to an extent.

At current time even su30mki is better choice than rafale so su57 will indeed be a beast as long as we get same freedom we have with su 30.

Except for spectra rafale doesn't seems to have anything that mki can't offer, bramhos ng will put scalp missile to dust.

Al51 doesn't have production version yet, al41 produces enough thrust maybe it can be replaced once al51 is mass produced
