When it comes to air dominance, there are not many countries that can compete with the US Air Force. Especially in the fighter field, it's almost sure that no nation is equipped well enough to fight the US.
The F-22 Raptor is considered by many the most advanced and powerful fighter in the world, but what happens with the multi-purpose fighters?
In this field, the F-35 Lightning II is the best fighter of the US and the Sukhoi Su-57 is the most capable fighter of Russia. The Sukhoi isn't only the best Russian fighter, but a great option for counties all over the world.

What makes the plane so good
First of all, let us inform you that Su-57 is a 5th gen stealth fighter that can serve in different roles. It's worth adding that it's the first Russian stealth aircraft. That's a really important achievement for the country.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur (construction company) achieved to reduce the wave radars that the aircraft receives by the right design techniques. The guns and the missiles of the fighter are internally stored in weapon bays.
As for the engine, two AL-14F1 turbofans are powering the fighter. The engine is more effective and improved over the AL-31 of the Su-27. Other systems are also advanced and capable.
The armament of the fighter depends on the requirements of the mission. Some available missiles are the R-77M (200km range), R-74M2 short range, and the R-37M for even longer range.
Additionally, the fighter is loaded with the KAB-250 or KAB-500 precision bombs when attacking land targets. Some other options are the Kh-38M air-to-air missile and the Kh-35U anti-ship missile. The Ghs-30-1 30mm cannon is standard on every fighter.

Why Su-57 Is The Worst Fear OF US
Sukhoi Su-57 is for sure one of the biggest fears that the US Air Force can encounter. That happens because other fights aren't a real threat to the dominant F-22. The Su-58 is probably the most dangerous stealth fighter, right after the Raptor.
Before the Su-57, the F-22 was easily the most advanced of its kind. But, know, the new Su-57 may be proven equally capable with its western rival.
