The Aggressor Force at Nellis Air Force Base includes some especially tough customers. The aggressors will fly stealthy F-35A fighters that simulate a difficult-to-kill enemy.
The Su-57 Felon has been noted for being the first Russian-built aircraft to feature stealth technology. At the same time, it further served as a test bed for the basis of a family of stealth-based aerial combat systems that could include unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Once Kyiv uses the F-16s expected to be delivered in the upcoming months, Moscow will likely call on its Su-57 Felon stealth fighters in response. Which fighter jet would come out on top?
While much remains unknown, there has been minimal acknowledgment from Russian officials that research and development work on the MiG-41 fighter is underway.
