Su-57Fifth-generation multirole fighter aircraftSide: RussiaBuilt: United Aircraft Corporation / Sukhoi / RussiaThe Su-57, NATO reporting name Felon, is Russia's Sukhoi-designed fifth-generation multirole fighter, built for air-to-air combat and standoff strike missions with low-observable shaping, integrated avionics, and internal weapons carriage. In the Russia-Ukraine War it has appeared as a scarce Russian Aerospace Forces asset used cautiously, with documented Ukrainian reporting of a June 2024 strike against an Su-57 at Akhtubinsk airfield rather than routine overflight of defended Ukrainian airspace.

Although designed primarily for air-to-air combat, U.S. Air Force sources document its precision-strike role in Operation Inherent Resolve and its inclusion in the 2025 Operation Midnight Hammer strike package against Iran.
