According to Frontelligence Insight, Western sanctions have hindered Russia's ability to legally acquire essential components for the Su-57, particularly electronic parts crucial for its military operations. This development puts Russia's production capabilities 'in jeopardy' and signifies a major shift in the balance of military power, showcasing how sanctions can leverage significant influence over advanced military technology.
Bryden Spurling from RAND Europe noted that while the Su-57 is designed to enhance Russia's situational awareness and operational capacity, the tangible results in the Ukraine conflict have been severely lacking. The limited deployment of Su-57s, primarily out of fear for losses and reputational damage, shows Russia's hesitance in utilizing its most advanced fighter jets effectively in combat scenarios.
