This is the first crash of Russia’s fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jet, which carries the NATO code "Felon".
The aircraft is the Russian counterpart of the American F-35 built by Lockheed Martin, but seems to have superior performances (top speed 2600 km/h vs 1930 km/h for the F-35, range 2150 km vs 1138 km) for a lower price tag (50 million US dollars).
Maybe Belgium should have selected the Su-57 to replace the F-16?
