Ukrainian must show the video if they can and I doubt su-57 can be detected by what Ukraine have

Su-57s play it safe in Ukraine war
Russia's most advanced fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57, has conducted combat operations against targets in Ukraine - albeit from considerable ranges.

Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) has suffered heavy losses over Ukraine:
Leaked Pentagon documents estimate heavy aircraft losses on both sides of Ukraine conflict
Unverified estimates from classified US government intelligence materials leaked on social media indicate large numbers of aircraft losses for both Russia and Ukraine, including fixed-wing fighters and helicopters.
Ukraine Has Lost 60 Aircraft, Taken Down 70 in Russian Invasion, Hecker Says | Air & Space Forces Magazine
Ukraine has lost roughly 60 aircraft to Russia since February 2022, said Gen. James B. Hecker, the top U.S. Air Force commander in Europe.
Lack of Effective Adaptability
As stated before, the Ukrainian surface-to-air defence gradually reconstituted certain capabilities once Russia refocused on the land war. To avoid the threat, Russia’s aircraft were forced to perform entire missions from friendly territory with standoff munitions or low-altitude tactics, thus becoming exposed to Ukraine’s and even their own MANPADS.9
One month after the invasion, once the Ukrainian defence was reorganized and had effectively engaged the enemy forces, Russia finally reacted and boosted its flights by almost fifty percent. Throughout July and August, Russia further increased its air presence over Ukraine, especially after Ukraine’s retaliatory strikes into the Saky airport, the main Naval Aviation base in Crimea.10, 11
However, due to the high attrition, the VKS reacted and adjusted its tactics by reducing the number of flights over Ukrainian-controlled territory and operating mainly from Belarus, Crimea, or the Russian mainland, especially at night, with strategic bombers carrying cruise missiles and flying at high altitudes to improve endurance. Additionally, and with sure success, the VKS took advantage of its technological superiority by using long-range air-to-air missiles to target Ukrainian fighters from long distances, even from Russia’s mainland.12
The decision to operate mainly outside of Ukraine’s territory led to a drastic decrease in downed aircraft. However, the Russian Army Aviation had to continue flying in support of their land forces, thus operating close to or inside Ukrainian-controlled territory. Yet even when operating under the umbrella of Russian-based air defence, the attrition rate for Army Aviation continued to increase.13
With this adaptation, the VKS aimed to reduce losses while supporting the invasion. However, the lack of guided munitions and platforms capable of striking at night negatively impacted the precision of their attacks and, thus, the support to their ground troops.
Inadequate Experience and Training
The VKS does have combat experience. It has been involved for years in the Syrian Civil War, Crimea, and Georgia. However, they executed mainly air-to-ground missions under insignificant threats from air defence fighters or surface-to-air systems, in contrast to the current scenario in Ukraine. Furthermore, recent statistics released by the Russia’s Ministry of Defence revealed that, in the last years, VKS fighter pilots averaged around 100–120 flight hours, military-transport pilots around 120–140 flight hours, and long-range aviation crews and army aviation pilots approximately 100 flight hours annually.14 By comparison, all are well below NATO proficiency standards.
Additionally, this data only reveals the flight hours rather than the quality of training. VKS exercises vary in size and tactical challenges, including night flights, very high or very low-altitude flights, adverse weather conditions, or operating from alternate airfields. However, these individually challenging tasks were apparently rehearsed without integrating into more complex or coordinated operations. Evenat the tactical level, VKS fighters mainly operate as single aircraft or in small formations without integrating with the other flight formations.15 Overall, Russians exercise narrow tactical situational scenarios and ignore integration and complex campaign planning.
Although the Russian forces employed and experimented guided munitions in Syria, the VKS’s air-to-ground training was focused mainly on the employment of unguided bombs and rockets, possibly due to the limited availability of guided munitions. The attacks with unguided munitions, even by well-trained pilots, pose significant risks due to the lower-launch altitudes to reduce exposure to threats, which also reduce cueing accuracy as the time available for proper aiming is reduced. Such instances have been observed throughout the last months of the invasion on many occasions.16

Dagger Fallen – Assessing Ukraine’s Downing of the Kinzhal Missile
On 5 May 2023, Ukrainian local news outlet Defense Express announced that Ukraine’s defence forces managed to shoot down a Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile at around 02:40 on 4 May over Kyiv.
There is no proof of a Russian Su-57 infiltrating Kyiv and releasing a Betab-500 bomb on a target only for the bomb to be intercepted while the jet fighter escaped.
Russia is unable to develop a true stealth jet fighter like Americans.
The Su-57 is marketed as stealth fighter but radars have between 6 to 10 times greater detection range against the Felon compared to F-22 & F-35. Here’s why. - The Aviation Geek Club

Russia’s Involvement In Syria Proves That It's Far Behind The Western World
Russia has made a lot of noise about the modern weapons it has used during combat in Syria and how effective these new weapons are. Fresh Su-34 attack jets scream through the skies, while the latest in small arms test their mettle. But the reality is most of what Russia has used is not as shiny...

The hypersonic Kinzhal, which was allegedly shot down by Ukronazis from the Patriot air defense system, turned out to be a BetAB-500 concrete-piercing aerial bomb without a missile unit.
The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, also fell victim to deception by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Just see the video with that mayor of Kiev
and where is the rest of missile that show its kinzhal ?You are not reading my posts carefully. The images that I have shared in my previous response is of [another] Kinzhal missile that crashed inside Ukraine on 14-09-21. These images show that this missile is equipped with a unitary warhead that looks like BETAB-500 bomb.
The leftovers of the Kinzhal missile that was intercepted over Kyiv on 04-05-23 is shown in following images:

Clear enough?
Open the links that are shared and read them. It is unfortunate to spoonfeed an adult like this.

Sorry dude, Su-57 isn't any more stealthy than an F-18. Which isn't stealthy.
Oops. What did the Patriot shoot down? Ignorance is your bliss. LOL
This is also a great opportunity to improve air defense against combined ballistic missile, cruise missile and kamikaze drones in real war.
How can they if its at night? Russians hoping Patriots can't see at night.
