The United Aircraft Corporation’s Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri Gagarin has handed over to the Russian Air Force the next serial fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft and Su-35S fighters of the 4++ generation, the UAC press service said.
“The Russian Air Force received a batch of Su-57s as part of the plan to fulfil this year’s state defence order. The remaining fifth-generation combat vehicles scheduled for delivery this year are in the final assembly shop and are also being tested at the flight test station,” UAC CEO Yury Slyusar said. – We have also handed over the third batch of Su-35S this year. The aircraft of the next turn are in high readiness for production.”
“Issues related to meeting the needs of the Russian Armed Forces for reliable and highly efficient equipment can be solved in a timely manner thanks to the work of the Coordination Council under the Government of the Russian Federation,” said Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The new aircraft have undergone a full cycle of factory tests and have been tested in various operating modes by Defence Ministry pilots.
