Moscow's superjet Russia's new stealth bomber takes off - the Su-57D suddenly has two seats

The West is keeping a close eye on the first test flight of the new Su-57D stealth jet. This is because the new two-seater version indicates that Russia is already preparing for future air wars with drones and AI support.

Russia has officially been using the Su-57 as its own air force's most modern stealth jet since the end of 2020. Moscow is now testing a new version with two seats for the first time - the Su-57D.

New role for Russia's superjet?

The additional space in the cockpit could be intended for completely new missions - such as controlling combat drones or for next-generation digital air combat systems.
