First Look Inside the Su-57 Felon’s Weapons Bay

A photo appeared online, providing for the first time a look inside the Su-57’s main weapon bays, which so far were only seen closed.

We may have our first look inside the aft weapons bay of the Su-57 Felon fifth generation fighter, after an image was shared by the leading Kremlin-aligned Telegram channel ‘Fighter-Bomber’.

The open weapon bay appears to show two weapons stations, which can hold either two air-to-air or air-to-ground weapons.

Both the main bays, positioned in the space between the engines, have been clearly seen previously in bottom views of the jet, but this is possibly the first time an image shows one of them open.

The aft weapons bay merges into a rear array sitting between the two nozzles, believed to host a rear-facing radar sensor.
