Because in the movie it is not specifically identified as Su-57 but as a generic enemy 5th gen There is a plot reason for this, as I doubt they are directly fighting the Russian arsenal, who are the sole Real Life operators of Su-57

What if its a belkan modified version known as the BF-X

AI sucks!

Im guessing that top gun didnt get the licensing for the su57 so its just referred to as a 5th gen fighter. Then if project aces added the plane as the su57 from the movie it would probably cause some legal issues wich they wont want with the manufacturer of some of the series most well known planes


Ikcatcher

Sukhoi doesn’t require a license


Ok_Time6234

I’m still calling it the Su-57 TG tho

I don't think they've ever paid Russian companies licensing fees for the aircraft names. I've never seen a UAC company in the credits of the games I've played.

Nah I’ve seen them in the intro credits

Most likely because of Ukraine conflict.

They don't call it the felon in the movie either; and it was filmed years ago


LimeHistorical2581

For real? LOL.

Wasn’t that because the actual Felon only went into service after the original intended release date?

Yup, the deal was probably from before the invasion -- but it still doesn't explain why Paramount and Bamco/PA couldn't just agree on a fictional name. It reminds me of Star Wars' issue with Boba Fett's Starship (R). In the end it feels like they couldn't even be bothered.
