Russia has announced that its two-seat Su-57 jet is set to feature onboard combat AI. Russia named this new twin-seat model the Su-57D. Defense officials built the jet to compete with Western fifth-generation fighters. Even so, the Russian fleet of Su-57 jets is still limited.

At the same time, a small European country currently maintains twice as many fifth-generation fighters as Russia. The difference in fleet size remains despite Russian plans to add combat AI capabilities to the Su-57D. Simple Flying and MiGFlug highlighted the small fleet size in addition to the planned artificial intelligence features.
