The Russian Defense Ministry published a video yesterday, showcasing its most-advanced Sukhoi Su-57 deployed in the war-torn-country. In a statement accompanying the video, the Russian Ministry said that Su-57 performed about a dozen flights to prove its combat readiness. The statement further noted that the 5th generation SU-57 of the Russian aviation complex is designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets. It is important to note that this is not the first time that the Russian Defense Ministry has deployed its advanced fighter jets to Syria, as its maiden flight of the first generation Su-57 occurred on January 29, 2010. Since then it has become an integral part of Russia’s operational air force.
