“Felon” is the unofficial NATO reporting name for the Sukhoi PAK FA. In its fifth generation, this stealthy, single-seat, multirole jet fighter is powered by two engines. It is a component of the fighter program PAK FA, which is intended for the Russian Navy and Air Force. It’s unknown if exports of aircraft from Boeing or Northrop Grumman are permitted by the PAK FA.

Internally at Sukhoi, the project is referred to as the T-50 by the PAK FA. Although the Su-57 is still in the PAK FA program’s development phase, it is anticipated to be the first aircraft in Russian military history to employ stealth technology.
