The T-50-4 “Blue 054,” the 4th prototype of Russia’s fifth-generation stealth fighter, performed daily 8-minute displays. Piloted by Sergey Bogdan, Hero of Russia and renowned test pilot, the Su-57 amazed the crowd with advanced maneuvers like Pugachev’s Cobra and the falling leaf, showcasing its agility and control. By the airshow’s conclusion, Russia’s state arms exporter, Rosoboronexport, announced that it had signed initial contracts to deliver the export version of the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet to foreign clients.
