Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)

Basically these bays can hold MRAAMs at most and that's about as much ordinance as they can handle.

4x770 kg cruise missiles.

4x770 kg cruise missiles.

Inside the bays? The footage clearly shows that missile takes up one entire bay. It is a compact missile not something like a tomahawk. It can carry two of these missiles internally. Restricted by space. Not necessarily by mass.

Even when it doesn't, you see only what you want to see.
4 missiles. They're specifically made square(0,4x0,4) with no extensions to fit in.

Ah sorry. I didn't see Hyperwarp's post. 0.4m width. Definitely fit at least two side by side.

and introduced as "cruise missile" by the GA Shoigu (interestingly, there's "multipurpose cruise missile" in the transcript

многоцелевая крылатая ракета
might mean also loitering munition)

now IT identified inside

СНАУ = cистема навигационно-автоматического управления
БИНС = бесплатформенная инерциальная система управления

If you download it at 720p and slow the video to at least 5x, you'll see the missile pop out of the rear, left section.

 

[ougoah]

Indeed. I overestimated the size of the missile. However Su-57 bays certainly cannot be joined to house longer ordinance.

from 2016 (updated), where the author mainly explored the weapons bay issue. Nothing necessarily groundbreaking, but there are some nice illustrations.
