African countries are interested in cooperating with Russia not only on the food program, but many are also counting on fruitful cooperation in the military or technological sphere. This was demonstrated by the Russia-Africa summit.
For example, Nigeria is interested in purchasing Russian-made fighters, including the latest Checkmate, according to Dmitry Shugaev, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of Russia.
The foreign customer highly appreciates the tactical and technical characteristics of domestic machines. Checkmate is also in their sights.
Checkmate is the first and only Russian single-engine fifth-generation aircraft. It is capable of accelerating to Mach 2 and carrying 7,400 kg of payload.
