Well, that's indeed a pleasant surprise ...
In Russia, work began on a new light front-line fighter
MOSCOW, April 16 - RIA News. Research has begun in Russia with the goal of creating a new operational tactical aviation platform, the RIA Novosti was told in the press service of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec).
In particular, at the end of last year, MiG RSK placed an order for the study "Aerodynamic calculation of a light multi-functional front-line twin-engine aircraft, comparison with foreign analogues" for the period 2020-2025. Information about this was posted on the public procurement portal. The cost of work is estimated at four million rubles.
As explained by RIA Novosti in the United Aircraft Corporation (part of the Rostec Group of Companies), UAC engineering centers are constantly working on new models of equipment. "Search and conceptual research is underway. We are talking about new platforms for operational tactical aviation. These projects will make a promising program of work for Sukhoi Design Bureau and Mikoyan Design Bureau in the framework of the UAC Military Aviation Division," the press service said, commenting on the information from public procurement.
Currently, the Su-57 (formerly PAK FA, experimental name T-50) is being tested in Russia - the fifth-generation Russian fighter designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets. First flew in 2010. The combination of high maneuverability with the ability to perform supersonic flight, as well as a modern complex of avionics and low visibility provide the Su-57 superiority over competitors. VKS entered into a contract for the supply of 76 vehicles of this type.
