“Lots Of Screws”: Netizens Take Aim At Russian Stealth Jet Featured At Chinese Airshow\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, ZH readers have been well aware of the emerging risks of a war cycle and the\u00a0advanced technology destined for the modern battlefield\u2014stealth fighter jets<\/a>, hypersonic weapons<\/a>, and kamikaze drones<\/a>. All of which have already been deployed to battlefields in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Global superpowers have been locked in a fifth-generation fighter jet race for the last two decades. The US leads with the\u00a0F-22 and F-35; meanwhile, China has the\u00a0Chengdu J-20 and Russia the Su-57.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The focus is on Russia’s\u00a0Su-57 Felon fighter jet. New footage of the aircraft was\u00a0uploaded on X on Monday from the\u00a0Airshow China 2024 in Zhuhai, located in the\u00a0southern Guangdong province, on the border with Macau.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Netizens worldwide\u2014not just in China\u2014are questioning the build quality of the\u00a0Su-57 after analyzing footage…\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s easy to criticise the Su-57 as a non stealthy low quality mess, but Russian use the exact same technology level for its construction as they use for ISS module.<\/p>\n

Defense Blog<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

Russia’s Su-57 Felon fighter jet, showcased for the first time at Airshow China 2024 in Zhuhai, has become the subject of widespread mockery on Chinese social media.<\/em><\/p>\n

Close-up photos and videos of the aircraft, revealing questionable assembly quality, have sparked criticism and ridicule among Chinese internet users.<\/em><\/p>\n

The first Su-57 arrived in Zhuhai on Monday, with a second stealth fighter jet transported aboard an An-124 cargo aircraft. The initial Su-57 is scheduled to perform flight demonstrations, while the second will be on static display, allowing attendees to closely inspect Russia’s flagship fifth-generation fighter.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the Defense Express magazine, criticism from Chinese observers centers on visible construction flaws, including numerous bolts securing fuselage panels and poorly aligned sections. While the use of visible bolts was previously known, the poor panel fitment and the inconsistency in assembly have drawn sharp remarks. The rear section, shown in detail for the first time, features bolts with varying head types\u2014Phillips, flathead, and hexagonal\u2014raising questions about the manufacturing process.<\/em><\/p>\n

However…<\/p>\n

Su-57 No. 054 Blue has arrived to Zhuhai for the upcoming air show. People already seem to be taking potshots at the build quality without realizing 054 Blue is the 4th flight prototype (built in 2012). It’s also the first prototype to have flown 7,000km from KnAAZ to Zhukovsky. pic.twitter.com\/HdiL7T6kyu<\/a><\/p>\n

The nation that\u00a0fields the best fifth-gen fighters,\u00a0hypersonic missiles, and\u00a0kamikaze drones will undoubtedly prevail as the ‘fog of war’ casts across Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
