Representatives of the military-industrial complex (MIC) of Russia and Belarus have begun to explore the possibility of joint production of the latest Su-75 Checkmate fighters. However, serial production of the military aircraft may not begin until 2030, according to the authors of the "Technosphere Russia" publication.
In their opinion, if the Su-75 first flies as early as 2025, it will take at least several more years before it is adopted into service by the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS).
That is, serial production no earlier than 2030. Even the involvement of Belarus will not change anything, although it will later have a positive impact on the deployment of production after all tests. But testing and refinement before the series is a minimum of 5 years.
Also, Belarus' participation in the production of the aircraft implies the acquisition of the Su-75 for the Belarusian military, which will give Russian aircraft manufacturers the first launch customer for the new machine.
The Checkmate's speed will be from 1.8 to 2.0 Mach, the flight range up to 3000 km, the maximum combat load mass 7400 kg, the practical ceiling 16.5 km, and the maximum operational overload 8 units.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the digital filling of the latest Su-57 fighter has become known, it even has copper lines.
