Russia has taken a significant step forward in aerial combat technology by integrating artificial intelligence (Al) into its most advanced stealth fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57.

The Al system, described as a “virtual second pilot", is designed to assist human operators during both standard and high-stakes combat missions, according to a spokesperson from Rosoboronexport, the state arms exporter.

Developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), the Al technology handles various in-flight functions such as waypoint navigation and systems management, reducing the pilot's cognitive load.
