The name of the airplane is Sukhoi Su-57 which are classified as “invisible” that can be used in the game thanks to a mod and that months after the conflict between the countries Ukraine and Russia, the state agency RIA Novosti accused the latter to use this type of aircraft. Something that thanks to the information provided by the user of the War Thunder forum, could be confirmed.
