), known as Checkmate (“Checkmate”) and the Su-75, will be in conjunction with the Su-57 and unmanned aerial vehicles. The condition for the maximum efficiency of the LTS was named by TASS by the chief designer of Checkmate Mikhail Strelets.
“Today the trend towards unification of the aircraft fleet is gaining momentum in the world. Due to the high degree of inter-project unification, the joint use of the Su-57, Checkmate and unmanned aerial vehicles can form an optimally balanced fleet for various tasks with a minimum operating cost and high combat potential, “the specialist said.
In Rostec, developing the Su-75, one of the advantages of Checkmate was designated “the use of only Russian-made components in its design.” The state corporation assured that the aircraft “is equipped with a multidisciplinary set of weapons capable of fighting any threat – from unprotected command posts to targets that are particularly sensitive to a potential enemy.”
In July, Rostec presented LTS at the International Aviation -the space salon MAKS-21. 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.
