Another example of the classic «black PR» is demonstrated by journalists of the well-known Western magazine The National Interest.
In a publication under the loud and ornate headline «Russia’s Su-57 Fighter Has ‘Crashed and Burned’ in China…At Least on Social Media» the authors of this opus tried to throw mud at the fifth-generation Russian fighter.
Moreover, using the air show opening next week in Zhuhai, China, as an information guide.
It is clear by whose order, because Western envious weapons manufacturers are directly interested in discrediting Russian weapons. For example, Lockheed Martin.
«The Su-57 for the first time flew to Zhuhai at Airshow China to show its highest flight performance, confirmed in real combat conditions. To look under a microscope and publish on the Internet any inconsistencies with their ideas about how the world’s best aircraft should be built is the lot of losers. This is the same as scolding a victorious soldier who has left the battle for uncleaned boots or irregular stubble on his face,» a colleague from the Russian defense industry ironically commented on the situation.
P.S. For understanding: The US Government Accountability Office released a report according to which the combat readiness level of American F-35 fighters has not met target indicators for the 6th year in a row.
The total cost of this aircraft has already exceeded $ 1.5 trillion.
However, for the period from 2018 to 2023 fiscal year, the combat readiness of the F-35 fighter fleet has not reached the established indicators.
The authors of the report attribute the low level of combat readiness of the F-35 to delays in maintenance, as well as a shortage of spare parts and qualified personnel.
