Russia is preparing for the serial production of the modernized Su-57M1 fighter with a new engine and enhanced combat capabilities. A number of hints, including the expansion of production facilities in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and the signing of new export contracts, indicate the imminent start of deliveries of the combat aircraft, according to military analysts.
The fighter will be equipped with the second-stage AL-51F1 engine with a flat nozzle and controlled thrust vector. This design preserves maneuverability but reduces the radar signature of the fighter by narrowing the flow of hot gases, making the aircraft less vulnerable to infrared-guided missiles, explained military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
In addition to the engine, the Su-57M1 will receive a new radar with an active phased array antenna, artificial intelligence (AI) support systems, an updated helmet-mounted targeting system, and, likely, new weapons. Among them are advanced air-to-air missiles of the R-77M long range.
Against this backdrop, the Indian state corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) announced its readiness to work with Russia in developing next-generation fighters. The company noted that the parties have already worked fruitfully on the MiG-21 and Su-30MKI combat aircraft.
In addition, Roman Babushkin, advisor-envoy of the Russian Embassy in India, stated that Russia is ready to consider the possibility of supplying Su-57 fighters and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to the Indian military.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of the S-500 Prometey air defense system demanded almost 300 million rubles from the Saratov Aggregate Plant.
