💥 RUSSIA’S SU-57 LEVELS UP AS AI TAKES PILOT’S SEAT

The Su-57 fifth-generation fighter has been equipped with AI, which is actually the warplane’s co-pilot, a spokesperson for Russia’s Rosoboronexport arms exporter told Sputnik.

Why is AI needed?

🟠“The system is designed to provide a pilot with prompts in specific situations and tactical moments.”

🟠AI assists the pilot by taking on some tasks during routine flights, such as navigation along route points and management of flight systems.

🟠It allows the pilot to focus during combat on more important tasks, such as weapon deployment.

🟠“The decision to use weapons remains with the pilot,” the spokesperson stressed.
