The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of the Rostec Group) showed photographs of the new fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft in the paint shop. The combat vehicle is being prepared for delivery to the customer — the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
It can be noted that employees of the aviation plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur are working on the nose of the fighter. The pilot's cabin is covered with polyethylene.
Rostec noted that new Su-57s are actively entering the troops, and modernized versions will receive updated weapons systems and engines.
It also became known that serial production of the combat aircraft's "best friend" — the S-70 Okhotnik drone weighing about 20 tons and with a wingspan of up to 20 m, equipped with an Al-41F turbojet engine — has begun.
