Ufimtsev, not a new development in engineering. Ben Rich, chief of Lockheed's Advanced Development Projects division (the so-called `Skunk Works'), wrote that "the Rosetta Stone breakthrough for stealth technology" was a new theory developed by Pyotr Ya. The first stealth fighter, the American F-117A, was designed in the 1970s using a novel mathematical theory for determining radar cross-sections of general three-dimensional bodies, and optimizing it subject to constraints. Production of large numbers of PAK FA by India would place Pakistan in a rather difficult position, unless it purchased similar numbers of stealth fighters from China. The emergence of a Chinese counterpart stealth fighter may also re-awaken Japanese interest in the F-22. The prospect that a country like Iran might buy even a few dozen PAK FA aircraft from Russia may well awaken interest in the F-22 in Israel, if not Saudi Arabia.With the first flight of the Russian stealth fighter in 2010, an arguably superior Chinese stealth fighter might be expected to take to the skies not too long thereafter. That is, it would seem that China had determined that it could produce a superior product without Russian help. It seems probable that China declined to participate in this project given a belief that Russia stood to gain more from Chinese participation than did China. Russia had been trying to sell this concept both to China and India for some time. In June 2001, India was offered 'joint development and production' of this new 5th generation fighter by Russia.If these production objectives are met, the United States might wind up with the world's third largest fleet of stealth fighters, after India and Russia. As of January 2010 a total production run of at least 150-200 aircraft for the Russian Air Force and 200 aircraft for the Indian Air Force was envisioned.While the F-35 is also a fifth generation stealth fighter, the low observable characteristics of this attack aircraft are said to be markedly inferior to the all-around stealth of the F-22 air supremacy fighter. A direct comparison with the F-22 is probably not meaningful on an unclassified basis, but Russian marketers will probably sell it as roughly equivalent in combat potential. The PAK FA is generally similar in appearance to the American F-22, though there are so many differences in detail that it is clearly an original design rather than a knock-off copy.This event was significant for several reasons. The maiden flight of the T-50 / Project 701 / PAK FA, the first Russian fifth-generation fighter jet was completed successfully on Friday morning, 29 January 2010 at Komsomol'sk-na-Amur.

The nomenclature follows the Su-27 Flanker, Su-37 "Super Flanker", Su-47 "Berkut" designation sequence. Su-57 is what we are going to call it now”.

Russia’s T-50 (PAK FA) fifth-generation fighter jet has received the serial index of Su-57, Aerospace Force Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Viktor Bondarev said in an interview with the website of Zvezda TV Channel on 11 August 2017. Frazor was used as a temporary working name for the PAK-FA and T-50 program, not for the production aircraft Su-57. The Sukhoi Su-57 is now officially reported as "Felon". Scramble Magazine reported 29 October 2019 that the name Frazor, assigned to the Russian 5th generation jet fighter was replaced within NATO. Russia’s Aerospace Force will get 22 Su-57 fighters by late 2024, and their number in the Russian Armed Forces will grow to 76 by 2028. The Russian Armed Forces received the first Su-57 fighter in 2020. The fifth-generation fighter jet has been successfully tested in combat conditions in Syria. The plane’s armament will include, in particular, hypersonic missiles. Compared to its predecessors, the Su-57 combines the functions of an attack plane and a fighter jet while the use of composite materials and innovation technologies and the fighter’s aerodynamic configuration ensure the low level of radar and infrared signature. The Su-57 took to the skies for the first time on January 29, 2010. The Su-57 fighter jet features stealth technology with the broad use of composite materials, is capable of developing a supersonic cruising speed, and is furnished with advanced onboard radio-electronic equipment, including a powerful onboard computer (the so-called electronic second pilot), the radar system spread across its body and some other innovations, in particular, armament placed inside its fuselage. The Sukhoi Su-57 is a Russian-made fifth-generation multirole fighter designated to destroy all types of air, ground and naval targets.
