shouldn't we stop calling the Su57 as 5th gen at least in BRF ., the Su57 is a 4+[+] gen fighter with some 5th gen technologies.. Can you elaborate reasons it's only 4+[+] gen just like you did about Su30 airframe cost/upgrade brilliant post? & why f22 f35 j20 are superior + actual 5th gens?

The rest of it we might simply replace the old Su-30s with new build Su-30s with new gen sensors and new gen weapons... But then number problem will remain.
