Su-57 Felon’s SHOCKING Weapons Bay REVEAL

About this video

Max analyzes Russia’s November 9th, 2025 display of the Su-57’s weapons bay at the Dubai Airshow, where they revealed the Kh-58 anti-radiation missile and R-74M2 air-to-air missile for the first time in 15 years. Max argues this reveal signals Russia’s intent to intimidate Ukraine, market the jet to export customers like Algeria, and improve their negotiating position in the conflict. He explains the Su-57’s specifications, compares it to Western fighters like the F-22 and F-35, and presents two hypothetical combat scenarios—one involving a SEAD mission against Ukraine and another involving Algeria’s potential Su-57s in a simulated exercise that escalates with U.S. F-35s.

Key takeaways

• Max states the Su-57 is less stealthy than the F-22 and F-35, calling it a ‘four-plus’ generation jet rather than a true fifth-generation stealth fighter
• Max claims Russia displayed the weapons bay to send a message to Ukraine about targeting NATO-supplied radars and to attract export customers like Algeria, which has reportedly committed to purchasing 6-14 Su-57Es
• Max argues that despite the Su-57’s impressive thrust and maneuverability, slow production (only about 20 jets delivered by 2025, according to Max), technology gaps, and sanctions mean the jet is ‘more bark than bite’ and ‘playing catch-up’ to Western air dominance
