Why Is Russia's Su-57 Suddenly Flying in Ukraine?

Russia has finally sent its Su-57 “Felon” stealth fighters into the Ukraine war in real numbers, but don’t let the hype fool you. In this video, I break down what’s really going on with Moscow’s so-called “fifth-generation” jet, why it’s still avoiding Ukrainian air defenses, and how its combat debut is more about testing missiles than dominating the skies.

I’ll cover:
• The Su-57’s coordinated new tactics in Ukraine
• The truth about its “stealth” and why it’s not in the same league as the F-22 or F-35
• The experimental Kh-71K missile and other weapons it’s carrying
• Why Russia is keeping these jets far from danger, and what that reveals about their real capabilities
• How Ukraine and the West can counter the Felon’s long-range threat

As a U.S. Army infantry and Air Force veteran, I’ve seen enough overhyped military tech to know when reality doesn’t match the marketing. The Felon is dangerous, but not for the reasons Russian propaganda claims. Let’s unpack the myth and the reality.

tldr: After a prolonged period of limited engagement, Russia's Su-57 Felon is stepping into a more prominent role in the conflict. Ukrainian military observers are reporting entire formations of these so-called fifth-generation fighter jets in action, moving beyond mere cameos. The increased activity of the *russian air force* raises questions about air superiority capabilities and the overall dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine war.
