Show this to people who tell you sanctions “don’t work”. Of course Russia is going to be able to get their hands on some components, but their economy and defense industry are seriously hampered by restrictions.

They probably realized these su57s are no match for f16s

I prefer twisting the knife further.

This makes Russia sound even more stupid for claiming their conventional army was a match for the West. The West was literally proving them parts.

So they had about 15 with most of them variants and it took many years to get that far, the affected SU57 production looks to be stalled anyway.

This is ridiculous. Yes, sanctions can (and probably are) influence production, but stopping the whole production because a *specific* model of some *attenuator* is unavailable is just… and what happened to the attenuator they used?😅
Anyway, sounds like a bogus story. The production may (or may not) be suspended, but definitely not for that reason alone.

It’s more than simply sanctions.
The big blow to the whole program was India pulling out…. this cut a huge swath of potential orders (the more you build the more affordable the per u it cost).
Even pre-war the program was in trouble because of it.
Add to that having to stretch components replacing attrition over Ukraine of already proven platforms (Su-30, 35 etc), it’s a hard sell moving forward with an already troubled program.
