Russian su-57 fighter crashed, Russian media disclosed the cause of the accident and the whole story

For the Russian army, the end of 2019 is a bad year. During the maintenance of the only aircraft carrier, a large hole was smashed in the flight deck, and then a fire occurred, followed by the sinking of the floating dock and submarine. Now the latest stealth fighter su-57 also suffered a crash. According to the Russian "Communist Youth League Pravda" reported on the 24th, a su-57 fighter accidentally lost control and crashed to the ground during the test that day. The pilot ejected and escaped, 'this is the first time that a su-57 plane crash has occurred'.

It was reported that the su-57 was testing a new engine and airborne control system. 40 minutes after takeoff, the pilot reported that 'the fighter is losing control'. When all the measures taken by the pilot did not take effect, su-57 finally crashed 111 kilometers away from the airport. The pilot successfully ejected and survived, and then was taken to the hospital by mi-8 helicopter. According to the source, it is preliminarily judged that the cause of the accident is the failure of the aircraft control system, and there may be a problem with the tail. The crashed fighter is the first mass-produced su-57. Its owner is not the Russian military, but the Gongqingcheng aircraft manufacturing plant on the Amur River. The plane was originally scheduled to be delivered to the troops on the 27th of this month. According to the procurement contract signed between the Russian Ministry of defense and Sukhoi company, the Russian air and space force will install 76 su-57 before 2028.

Dmitry middot, a Russian military expert; Droztenko said that the crash may delay the delivery of fighters to the troops, and the manufacturer will also suffer heavy losses. But he believes that the accident will not seriously affect the future of the su-57. " Two stealth fighter planes in the United States have crashed. For example, the F-22 fighter plane crashed as early as December 2004. In September 2018, the F-35B of the US Marine Corps also crashed during training. "
