The Russian Aerospace Forces received the next serial fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. About this today, September 28, reported Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
The release was published on the website of the Russian government.
“Today, Russian aircraft manufacturing enterprises are picking up a good pace of production, continuing to supply military equipment to our troops. In particular, the enterprises included in the Rostec circuit are distinguished by their well-coordinated work: the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant transferred the next production aircraft Su-57 (generation 5) and Su-35S (generation 4++) to the Russian Aerospace Forces,” Manturov said .
The fighters transferred to the Russian Aerospace Forces have undergone a full cycle of factory tests and have been tested in various operating modes by military pilots.
“The remaining fifth-generation combat vehicles, scheduled for delivery this year, are in the final assembly shop and are also being tested at the flight test station. We also delivered the third batch of Su-35S this year. The aircraft of the next stage are in production at a high level of readiness,” recalled General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation Yuri Slyusar.
By the end of the year, the troops will receive the next batch of aircraft. The number of transferred aircraft is not indicated.
As reported EADaily, the first information about the use of a flight of four Su-57s in the Northern Military District zone appeared a year ago. Then the head of the United Aircraft Corporation Yury Slyusar confirmed that the Su-57 shows its best side in the Northern Military District, and the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces Sergey Surovikin noted that the Su-57, as part of a special operation, solves “multifaceted tasks of hitting air and ground targets.” No one spoke anymore about the arrival of similar vehicles in the North Military District zone. In August, a TASS source in the defense industry said that the Su-57 was expected to be “re-equipped” with missiles for high-speed air targets at a range of up to 300 km.
According to Military Watch ratings, the Su-57 is the “most dangerous” fighter.
