Advantages of Sukhoi Su-57

| Sukhoi Su-57 |
If you're fighting BVR, it's really a battle of technology. But in relatively close quarters, the Su-57 actually outperforms the F-35.
Fighting the F-35 is not much different than fighting a stealthy version of the F-16. If the Su-57 can beat his F-16 in close combat, the Su-57 could beat her F-35.
The Su-57 is extremely maneuverable. If you want to measure detail, speed and altitude really matter. However, the Su-57 has an average sustained rotation rate of 25°/sec, while the F-35 is only 14-18°/sec, not much better than the F-16.

Obviously you can make it higher if you want to force the maneuver - this is called the instantaneous turn rate. Just slam the lever and operate.
In addition, a cannon carried by the Su-57 caliber 30 mm. Definitely more powerful than the F-35 which is only 25mm. It's a small thing, but an Su-57 shot intact is arguably more terrifying than an F-35.
Combine this with the Su-57's mobility, and it's clear that the F-35 will struggle. The only way for the F-35 to escape the Su-57 is to continue slamming maneuvers.
However, the F-35B/C's maximum G-force is relatively low at his 7G+. Unlike the Su-57, which can fly from 9G to 11G. Another option - do not face the Su-57. Defend his BVR combat according to F-35 expertise.
