And, probably, #51(red or blue), which photos not released yet.Is there a certain system behind these numbers? I don't get the numbering system!???
Now we have 01 blue, 02 red, 52 blue and also a 52 red??
And someone says, the Chinese serial systems is weird?!
Could be repainted from blue 52 to red 52. And no info on new delivery to suggest that these two are not what they mentioned in January. Still, i don't understand why blue 01 and red 02 for GLITS and not blue 01 and blue 02.Is there a certain system behind these numbers? I don't get the numbering system!???

01 and 02 are going to GLITz, not sure why the are not the same color. 52 red going to Lipetsk.Is there a certain system behind these numbers? I don't get the numbering system!???

We shall see. I have a feeling red 52 and blue 52 are same frame, but no idea and might be completely wrong.And, probably, #51(red or blue), which photos not released yet.Is there a certain system behind these numbers? I don't get the numbering system!???

Just you.
I have read "rumors" about T-50-2 getting fitted with two Izd.30 engines for ages now. Tbh, Izd.30 has been slow as sh!t development wise.
Yeah, the AL-31F family has been in active use and development since 1985 until literally today and even further (still apparently seeing development of a 16 tf version of AL-41F-1 for LTS). That is more than 40 years, until a substitute in the form of izd. 30 with new layout and design philosophy appears in the series after 2025. UEC openly talks about it as the new platform on which they will develop their engines for the next 40-50 years. Small correction though, as per the roadmap proposed by UEC, the PAK-DP should use the current core of the izd. 30, while the 6th gen plane would use a three streams engine currently under development but based on a further evolution of the technologies learnt from the izd. 30.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were completely random. A fun mathy anecdote - in WW2, the Allies tried badly to figure out how many tanks the Germans produced. Thankfully, the ever pedantic Germans assigned sequential serial numbers to their tanks. This allowed Allied statisticians, by observing the number of distinct serial numbers encountered, as well as the maximum serial number, to estimate the number of tanks built.Is there a certain system behind these numbers?

One simple way to check the probability of N tanks being built, given that they've encountered K tanks, with the max number being M, is the number of ways one can pick K-1 tanks from M-1 numbers (since the maximum M is known) divided by number of ways of picking K tanks from the hypothetical maximum, N.
Here's a more detailed writeup on the subject:

So I wouldn't be surprised if random serial numbers were the standard for military equipment.
A lot of back and forth about this, but Felon Frazor seems to suggest it; View: https://twitter.com/FelonFrazor/status/1490122071531311109
I wonder why is there such a hurry to make that many aircraft - the projected upgrade, nicknamed project Megapolis, is slated for 2025, and will introduce the new engine among other things. I can't shake the feeling that it's a substantial and deep upgrade and there's no economical upgrade path for the current production units, much like the early block F-35s.
Well, we live now, not in that bright future several years away.
Perhaps from the perspective of the Russian Air Force, producing the Su-57 now would allow them to have the aircraft on hand to develop TTPs and integration into the force structure. Having a good enough product now may be preferable to waiting years for an improved Su-57M variant whose timeline might be subject to delays.
They are indeed not hurrying up and setting up the production, developing tactics and training crews and a fairly slow pace, or at least not with huge human and economic resources that they cannot sustain in later phases of the program. I think the Megapolis project was among the topics that were being assessed in the background when we heard about that apparent slowing down of the project few years ago. New technical possibilities became available and the PAK-FA program itself was taking a bit more than initially planed, so it was reasonable to delay a bit the procurement and raise the technical bar from the bare minimum to a more mature standard, placing more units of the contracted batch in the second stage. In any case it would be uncharacteristic of them to produce units that cannot be retrofit at a later stage, and it was not needed to rush orders of the Su-57 either from a political or a military point of view, since the Su-35S was in active procurement and the government had clearly signalled their negotiating position by claiming that they could do without the PAK-FA.

I think they can forget about it at this stage, and PAk-DA will be even more vapourware also.
What is the point in having a stealth aircraft and flying it well inside optical range of the ground where even defunct-AAA systems can pick it off?1st Combat Deployment! Russian Su-57 Stealth Fighter Jets Spotted Over Northern Ukraine Before Crucial Peace Talks
As Turkey prepares to broker peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, a video doing the rounds on social media purportedly shows Russia’s most advanced stealth aircraft, Sukhoi-57, flying over the northern region of Ukraine. Foreign ministers of Ukraine and Russia arrived in Turkey on March 10 for...
The aircraft on the video appears to be the Su-57.
I think this debacle showed Russia how valuable a stealth platform like the Su-57 would have been. If anything, it's going to push them to commit even more resources to the program. Don't be surprised if we see an order for more airframes soon. It also might push Russia into ordering the Su-75 with the hopes of attracting foreign customers. We should be thankful Russia dosen't yet have a large fleet of combat ready Su-57s, or this conflict could have gone much differently for them.
Allegedly, along with all their other logistical problems, they're short of precision-guided munitions that can be dropped from altitude and are mostly using dumb bombs.What is the point in having a stealth aircraft and flying it well inside optical range of the ground where even defunct-AAA systems can pick it off?1st Combat Deployment!

They're expending cruise missiles as they have no choice. Their air force can't survive over defended territory. Which makes a stealth aircraft more of a priority...
