Chemezov: some attacks in the foreign press on the Su-57 fighter make people smile potential foreign customers are showing interest due to low visibility, high speed, combat load and maneuverability, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov told TASS.
According to him, criticism of the fighter in the foreign press due to the fact that they see a competitor on the plane. “The tabloid headlines do not affect the combat capabilities of the aircraft. If you look at this car in action, then half of the questions disappear by itself. For example, about the power of the engines “, – said the head of the state corporation.
The head added that” some attacks do not cause anything but a smile. ” “Recently, in particular, in the foreign press it was announced that the Su-57 will never be supplied to the troops! But the plane is already being mass-produced and supplied to the Russian army, “Chemezov noted.
The head of Rostec also said that the technical appearance of the Russian Checkmate fifth-generation single-engine fighter jet has practically been formed. According to him, the main competitor of the new aircraft is the American F-35 Lightning II fighter.
