A discussion unfolded in the foreign segment of the Internet around the promising Russian fighter Su-75 Checkmate. The YouTube channel «Defence Simplified» presented a demonstration video of the aircraft's combat capabilities, in the comments some users praised the «75th», while others openly criticized it.
A user with the nickname Michael Jensen6205 recalled that it took the United States 20 years to launch the F-35, while Russia is close to producing its analogue in just 8 years.
A pretty good, affordable multirole aircraft, I see great potential in it... Production will not be easy, but if it's worth the effort, they will do it.
Subscriber rvvvv289 gave the Su-75 an even more flattering and concise description — «just a beast!»
Amazing Russian engineering design, crushing Su-75, checkmate! He will turn the board over!
However, there were those who doubted the real prospects of the Su-75 in a confrontation with the same F-35. For example, subscriber BikerInChrist warned that modern aircraft, due to the large amount of electronics, are vulnerable to hacking even from a remote distance.
I am convinced that if you use certain stealth vehicles against countries that know such technologies, they will be useless to you. Today, everything can be disgraced with code and a click of a mouse. Click — and the plane turns off.
The head of the flight service of the Sukhoi company, Hero of Russia Sergei Bogdan, reported that the first flight of the Su-75 Checkmate will take place in early 2026.
