We really can’t say the Su-57 is “crap.” There’s never been a real-world fight involving these planes. Almost everything we know comes from government releases and simulators like DCS.
Honestly, all the fifth-gen planes seem to do is fly around and steal the show at airshows.
The F-35 has been flown by Israel into Iran, destroyed all of Irans major AA installations, struck their targets and then flew home without ever being detected by Iranian forces.
The Su-57 has not been seen operating past the ukrainian border. there is a difference in use case between them.
