Design Differences Between Russian and US Fighter Jets Highlight Operational Priorities
Russian fighter jets like the Su-57 and Su-35 prioritize extreme maneuverability and structural strength over stealth features common in US jets. Russian aircraft use visible rivets to reduce costs and facilitate frontline repairs, and employ heavy framed canopies for cockpit durability and optical clarity. In contrast, US fighters such as the F-16 and F-22 feature seamless bubble canopies for enhanced 360-degree visibility and stealth. These design differences reflect distinct military doctrines and operational priorities.
