"Although this LRCM is smaller than its analogues used in Russia's long-range aviation, which currently includes the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers, the missile's range is equivalent to those carried by the aforementioned aircraft," the source stressed.
He explained that developers had managed to achieve “a significant reduction in the size of the new ammunition thanks to the perfectly refined design of the folding wing and internal layout, as well as the use of a new small-sized bypass turbojet engine.”
This came after a US defense news magazine reported that the Su-57 fighters had showed their effectiveness in
the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, where these fighter jets successfully disabled Ukrainian air defense systems, among other missions.
