GlobalConflictहिंदी's video: Sukhoi Checkmate China Export

A new light tactical plane developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of the state tech corporation ROSTEC) will compete with the most advanced combat planes on the global arms market, Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev told reporters at the MAKS-2021 international air show on Wednesday. "The light tactical plane is primarily an aircraft designed for export. Being aware of its flight characteristics, strike and reconnaissance capabilities and low radar vulnerability, we anticipate that the fighter will vie fiercely with its competitors. We view it as a rival for leading Western manufacturers of the so-called fifth-generation single-engine fighters," Russia’s military cooperation chief stressed. The light tactical plane will enable Russia to secure a new niche on the world combat aviation market, he pointed out. "With the help of this product, we hope to gain a certain promising foothold on the market of these planes," Shugayev stated. Russia’s new single-engine combat aircraft will compete with the French Rafale fighter and the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen aircraft on the global market, he said. Countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia and North Africa are viewed as potential buyers of Russia’s new light fighter, the military cooperation chief noted. Russia’s new light tactical aircraft will feature a high cost/efficiency ratio, Shugayev stressed. "Considering that the aircraft is slated for exports, its price will be among its key indicators and advantages," he stressed. The MAKS-2021, one of the world’s top three air shows, is running in the suburban town of Zhukovsky outside Moscow on July 20-25. The Sukhoi Su-75 "Checkmate", is a single-engine, fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft under development by Sukhoi for export and for the Russian Aerospace Forces. A prototype was unveiled at the 2021 MAKS (air show) with President of Russia Vladimir Putin in attendance. The Checkmate's maiden flight is expected in 2023 and initial deliveries are planned for 2026-2027. The Checkmate is designed to be low cost and for export, and may compete with the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II and other aircraft of the same light to medium-weight category. Production is forecast to be 300 planes over 15 years. According to the jet's designers, the Checkmate is designed to fly with a range of up to 3,000 km (1,864 mi), carry a payload of up 7,400 kg (16,314 lb), and reach speeds of up to Mach 2. The fighter jet will also feature an internal bay with 5 missiles and an autocannon.The price of this fighter jet is expected to be 25-30million according to the Russian sources.
