«Шах и мат» в небе: Россия начала сборку первого Су-75 «Checkmate»

The first flight of the new combat aircraft is expected in 2027.

The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of the Rostec Group) has begun construction of the first prototype of the latest fifth-generation Su-75 "Checkmate" light multirole fighter. The aircraft is positioned as an affordable alternative to heavy machines, such as the Su-57.

Work on assembling the fighter began at the Gagarin Aviation Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The first flight is scheduled for 2027, and commissioning and serial production are scheduled for 2035.

The project is primarily focused on deliveries to countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

According to open sources, the Su-75 will have a flight range of up to 3000 km, a combat load of 7.4 tons, and a speed of up to Mach 2.

In October, Su-75 shots suddenly appeared on one of the military airfields, but the angle of the photograph does not allow us to assess whether the aircraft has engines in the tail section.

Earlier www1.ru reported that an engineer's initiative accelerated the production of protection for the T-90M and Okhotnik combat modules.
