RT: Watch Russian Su-57 fire missile during NEAR-VERTICAL CLIMB as pilots master new jet’s capabilities (VIDEO)
Russian combat pilots have mastered the new capabilities of the fifth-gen Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jets, the Defense Ministry reported. Footage of the test flights includes a rare firing of a missile while in a near-vertical climb.
The Su-57 is an advanced warplane which can speed straight up into the sky immediately after take-off, thanks to powerful engines and state-of-art controls needed to maintain stability during such a maneuver.

Stunning aircraft! Yet to be proven.
Unproven? Maybe.
I see a later model 57 over the 29 as being more capable. That is assuming a capable procurement system. We, the public, will get some glimpse of the capability of the 29 with updated reports of the Libya losses. I am thinking that the floor of performance is what the 29 can do and somewhere north of there. Again, that is assuming a competent procurement and test regime.
We shall see.
India already rejected this aircraft and withdrew from the FGFA project in 2018. Rafale is a better option for India.
