Breaking Defense: Russian Su-75 fighter does not pose a threat to the American F-35 Like Checkmate and the Su-75, it poses no threat to the American F-35 Lightning II, as well as the American and European fourth-generation fighters, Teal Group aviation analyst Richard Abulafia told Breaking Defense.
The expert did not see the threat from the Russian fighter jet due to the fact that, in his opinion, many countries that could buy LTS do not want strategic relations with modern Russia. “The higher the weapons system, the more you buy a strategic relationship,” said a US specialist.
In his opinion, “it doesn't seem like there is any feeling that they (the Russians – note “Lenta.ru” ) offer advanced things. ” that they see a competitor on the plane.
In July, Rostec presented LTS at the MAKS-21 International Aviation and Space Salon. According to Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov, a single-engine tactical fighter will cost between $ 25 and $ 30 million. As the head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Yuri Slyusar noted, the aircraft shown on the cabin is a model that will fly in 2023.
