The Russian news agency Ria Novosti, citing the Russian aircraft maker United Aiorcraft Corporation (UAC) that manufactures the aircraft, says the accident occurred during a training flight in the Khabarovsk region while the pilot rescued it.
The cause of the accident will be investigated by a special committee, under the supervision of Undersecretary of Industry and Trade Oleg Botsarov, reports the TASS agency citing military sources.
A source in the Russian defense industry, cited by the Russian agency, also said that preliminary data indicated that the fighter crashed due to a malfunction in the steering system, it is possibly a malfunction of the tail-end of the aircraft. It is also noted that the aircraft was insured.

This aircraft is one of the fighter jets that began mass production to equip the Russian Air Force by the end of the year, Interfax reports citing its own source.
The Su-57 is considered to be the analogue of the American F-22 Rapror, which first appeared in the skies in 2010. The Su-57 made its first appearance during a parade in May last year in Moscow's Red Square, when a pair of Su- 57 57 flew over the square.
