According to him, internal competition in this area of fighter production has practically disappeared.
There has been a de facto merger of RSK "MiG" and JSC "Sukhoi Company" with the latter predominating. "Sukhoi" has become the sole supplier of operational-tactical combat aircraft for the Aerospace Forces. And "MiG" pretends to be doing something.
Ageev added that, hypothetically, the office of PAO Sukhoi could be moved to Novosibirsk or Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Factories that produce and repair fighters and attack aircraft are located there.
The most anticipated project from the MiG bureau is the supersonic interceptor MiG-41. The aviation industry allowed for the appearance of a new interceptor in the second half of the decade, but there is no official confirmation yet.
