๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ- Images and footage of the Su-57D were released today by Rostec, Russia's state-owned defence and industrial conglomerate, offering the first public look at the new two-seat variant.

โžก๏ธ The Sukhoi Design Bureau has developed the aircraft, with the released imagery showing an enlarged cockpit section and a longer canopy. The concept of a two-seat Su-57 was previously explored under the joint Russian-Indian Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) program in the 2010s, under which Russia's United Aircraft Corporation and India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed an agreement for joint development and production.

โžก๏ธ It is Russia's first aircraft designed with stealth technology and incorporates supermaneuverability, supercruise, integrated avionics, and a large payload capacity. The US has indicated it will become nuclear-capable via a forthcoming missile similar to the Kinzhal. The aircraft is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in Russian service and has been marketed for export.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ- Donald Trump has posted on his X account for the first time in 78 days (2.5 months), just to attack Thomas Massie:
Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP
