The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft may be of interest for purchase to a number of states with which Russia has developed good partnerships. This was stated to "First Technical" by aviation expert, editor-in-chief of Avia.ru portal, Roman Gusarov.
The aircraft may go to countries with which Russia traditionally has military-technical cooperation. We see this in the export of Su-30 series aircraft to Algeria, Malaysia, India... These are the main buyers of our combat systems.
Gusarov recalled the premiere of the export version of the fighter in 2024 in Zhuhai, China. At that time, the Su-57 was also piloted by test pilot, Hero of Russia Sergey Bogdan.
I personally observed such a picture - the entire airfield seemed to stop during the Su-57's takeoff. I was standing on the porch when I looked and heard nothing but the roar of the engines, as if it were a freeze-frame (laughs). The aerobatics of this fighter are simply fantastic. No one in the world has ever shown anything like it, it's something special. The capabilities of the Su-57 are like something amazing.
Indian expert in the field of defense and space research, Girish Linganna, stated that the Su-57E is the only fifth-generation fighter that India can actually obtain in the coming years to meet the current needs of its Air Force.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a Mi-8T helicopter is being sold in Russia for the price of a Lada Vesta.
