Russian fighter jets feature tall landing gear to safely operate from unpaved airstrips. The elevated height protects engine intakes from debris and provides clearance for heavy weapons.

Why Russian fighter jets sit much higher off the ground compared to US jets

US stealth jets feature seamless radar-absorbing coatings to remain virtually invisible. Russian engineers skip these fragile finishes on the Su-57 to ensure cost-effective ruggedness and speed.
