The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) is implementing a program to expand the production capacity for the production of the Su-57 fighter. This was announced in the company's press service.
The UAC emphasized that this will increase the supply of Su-57s to the troops, as well as actively offer the combat aircraft in an export version for foreign customers.
Mikhail Strelets, Director of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, recalled that the Su-57 is the most advanced fifth-generation fighter. However, the developers do not intend to stop there.
The Su-57 platform is undergoing evolutionary development to increase combat capabilities and introduce the most modern technologies. The solutions embedded in the Su-57 platform make it possible to respond to any modern challenges through the rapid integration of technologies required at each stage of development.
It was previously reported that the Su-57 made its first flight with the latest fifth-generation "izdelie 177" engines. The new power plant with a thrust of up to 16,000 kgf in afterburner will enhance the aircraft's flight characteristics and provide reduced fuel consumption in all modes.
