Su-57

The PAK FA is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft currently under development by Sukhoi. Estimated to be released to the weapons market in 2015, the PAK FA is intended to be the successor of the MiG-29A and Su-27 Flanker. Although its project name is T-50, some believe this name will change to Su-40, because "T-50" is already being used to name a trainer aircraft.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, the PAK FA is a Russian fighter aircraft operated by the New Russian Federation forces. It is used by Andrei Markov during the assault on Miami in "Home Front" and "Akula", and by Sergei Illich during "Hurricane". In the Co-Op version of Home Front, the PAK FA is used by Markov and 3 additional ace pilots - Akula 2, 3 & 4.

As a player aircraft, it is unlocked after completing the single player campaign on Pilot difficulty or higher. However, it can be used only in Free Mission and competitive online modes. Considered the game's resident "super-fighter", the PAK FA is a Multirole-type aircraft. It has high overall statistics, the highest being firepower and lowest being stability, the latter at over 80%.

Paint schemes

 * Color 2: Russian Air Force. Snow camouflage resembling the Su-27SM.
 * Color 3: Markov's "sharkmouth" design.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy
The PAK FA returns in Assault Horizon Legacy. Despite the availablity of the ADF-01 FALKEN and XFA-27, the PAK FA is still on par with the superplanes for raw performance. While not as agile as the XFA-27 or fast as the FALKEN, it is a very strong all-rounder, and considerably cheaper to purchase at 162,000 credits.

It is unlocked by completing all of the Survival bonus missions.
