Russia claims their Sukhoi Su-57 multirole fighter jet is a state of the art fifth generation stealth aircraft. But have we ever seen the Russian plane out in public in actual combat before? Or is this like the Russian T-14 tank with wings? What is the story behind Sukhoi SU fighters vs. Mikoyan MIG fighters?

The work for what would eventually become the Su-57 began in 1979 when the Soviet Union outlined a need for a next-generation fighter aircraft to enter service in the 1990s. They launched the I-90 program in the eighties with the aim of developing a multi-role fighter with substantial ground attack capabilities to replace the MiG-29 and Su-27 in frontline tactical aviation service. Two projects were designed to fulfill this need: The MFI or Multifunctional Frontlight Fighter program and the LFI, a program designed to make a lighter fighter jet with respectable air-to-ground capabilities.
But wait slow down for the slow learning soldiers like myself in the back of the class. What the heck is a multirole fighter. BAE systems labels it as “Swing role aircraft” quote: “An aircraft that can accomplish both air-to-air and air-to-surface roles on the same mission and swing between these roles instantly offers true flexibility. This reduces cost, increases effectiveness and enhances interoperability with allied air forces' ' So pilots can take on all enemies, generals can send one aircraft for all jobs and the military industrial complex gets to save money… Everyone wins!
