Russian Air Force Only Has A Few Su-57 Felons And Can’t Build More Quickly

Do sanctions work? Yes, international sanctions may not be able to stop Russian production of new fighter jets, but they can slow it down and drive up the costs. A new article from the British news outlet, The Telegraph, suggests that Russia’s production of their new supposedly stealthy and fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57 “Felon” fighter jets has stalled. This comes after Russia apparently shot down their own massive S-70 Okhotnik-B (Hunter-B) ‘loyal wingman drone’ – in one of its first tests over the battlespace in Ukraine.
