The Izdeliye-30 engine, which was being finalized for use in heavy Su-57s, is already ready and the new machine will come in handy. Only one fighter in the world, the American F-35, is now endowed with the possibility of a long flight at supersonic without an afterburner. The new aircraft does not have the task of achieving total air superiority, but a link of several versions of fighters is quite capable of clearing the front with the same efficiency as that of heavy fighters. She will be able to diagnose the vehicle before and after the flight, and in battle will take over piloting the vehicle, leaving the pilot the opportunity to use weapons intelligently. For the same purposes, the “junior” fighter will receive a built-in neural network. The entire pilot training system, digital cockpit, and main components are designed to maximize the cost of ownership.
Su 75 checkmate full#
What will a potential buyer of the Su-75 get for $ 25-30 million? First, full unification with the “older” version – the Su-57 fighter. At least until the export version of the heavy Su-57 is ready. The new “chess horse” will be able to oust the Russian Su-30 and Su-35 fighters from the market, and in the next 10-15 years may turn into the main export fighter of Russian production. At $ 25-30 million, the Su-75 will be able to overtake all existing machines in terms of attractiveness – the French Dassault Rafale, the American F-35, and the modern F-16V Block 70/72. One of the main qualities of the new fighter is its price. The installation batch of these machines can be ready by 2025, and mass production can begin in 2026. The Russian Su-75, unlike other aircraft, will be ready as soon as possible: the aircraft will make its first flight in a year, and several sources claim that the prototype technology demonstrator has already performed test flights from the runway of the Sukhoi plant in Komsomolsk-on. However, this machine is used by the PLA Air Force only domestically and will not be exported shortly. The only flying fighter (conditionally) of the fifth generation that can enter the markets is the Chinese J-20. Now the situation is fundamentally different: foreign fifth-generation fighters, including the Turkish TF-X, the Korean KAI KF-X, the British Tempest, are at the design stage and will not take off soon. However, it was difficult to do this with the help of fourth-generation vehicles – the competition with foreign fighters turned out to be too high.
Then several Russian firms, including RSK MiG and OKB Sukhoi, tried to enter the international market at once.
The story with the LTS project began in the 2000s. KF-21 “Boramae”Īccording to the General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation Yuri Slyusar, the Checkmate light tactical aircraft is a multifunctional platform of a new generation, which is distinguished by the ability to adapt to the needs of a specific customer, low operating costs, and broad combat capabilities. Su-75 Checkmate has the following flight characteristics: flight range without suspended tanks – about 3,000 km, combat radius – 1,500 km, service ceiling – 16.5 km, maximum speed – 1.8-2 Mach. As for the domestic Checkmate, it was presented at the MAKS-2021 air show by the United Aircraft Corporation.
