New fifth-generation Su-57 fighters are assembled at the Gagarin Aviation Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. A video of the combat aircraft during assembly has appeared online.
The footage shows that in some places on the fuselage, parts of the fuselage are removed, and the "insides" of the fighter are visible.
The multi-purpose aircraft is designed to destroy all types of air targets in close and long-range combat, and to engage surface and ground targets of the enemy while overcoming air defense systems. Its first flight took place on January 29, 2010.
The first serial Su-57 entered service with the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia at the end of 2020. According to the contract, 76 fifth-generation fighters will be produced by 2028, which will be used to equip three aviation regiments.
The aircraft is characterized by low visibility to enemy radars and can use a wide range of guided high-precision weapons.
It also became known that Russia is studying plans to invest in the production of the Su-57 at Indian enterprises amid growing partnership with New Delhi.
