Su-57s destroy mock targets at Aviadarts army contest (VIDEO)


Su-57s destroy mock targets at Aviadarts army contest (VIDEO)
A pair of cutting-edge Russian Su-57 fighter jets have taken part in the Aviadarts-2018 army competition, launching a mock attack on ground targets and destroying them.The modern jets are currently undergoing extensive testing.
The pair of Su-57 jets provided air cover to frontline bombers, which attacked a dummy military industrial installation of the mock adversary. The two planes then performed an extremely low flyover, making a sharp turn and engaging the ground targets.
The Su-57 is expected to replace the iconic, yet aging Sukhoi Su-27 multipurpose fighters in frontline tactical aviation. The prototype of the new plane made its maiden flight back in 2010. An estimated price tag of one plane is about $50 million. The first batch of the new fighter jets has already been produced and is undergoing flight testing. The jet was known as the PAK FA and T-50 during development.
