    Interestingly enough it looks like it’s stealthy enough for practical purposes. It definitely looks like they made the right compromise with stealth to retain actual maneuverability.

    The Russian Air Force has demonstrated high confidence in the Su-57’s stealth capabilities, and has deployed the fighters for high intensity combat operations to parts of the Ukrainian theatre with particularly high concentrations of Ukrainian air defences.

        It’s highly unlikely that there’s no possible method for detecting stealth craft, so if the problem hasn’t been cracked then it will be eventually. Betting everything on stealth seems like a deeply flawed strategy to me as well.
