The developer demonstrated the placement of Kh-58UShK missiles — weapons for combating enemy radar stations

Experts note that the disclosure of weapons is a rare and demonstrative step: previously, such footage was not published. Kh-58UShK is designed to destroy enemy radar stations and significantly expands the range of tasks that the Su-57 can perform.

Recently, it became known that Russia may transfer a license to India to produce the Su-57 fighter, and, according to sources, this information was confirmed by the Russian Ambassador to New Delhi, Denis Alipov.

Earlier www1.ru reported that UAC published new footage from the cockpit of the MS-21 aircraft during testing.
