Saturday,17 July 2021 (YJC) _Russian aircraft makers say they will present a prospective new fighter jet at a Moscow air show that opens next week.
Russian aircraft makers say they will present a prospective new fighter jet at a Moscow air show that opens next week.
The new warplane hidden under tarpaulin was photographed being towed to a parking spot across an airfield in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow, where the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon opens Tuesday. Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit the show's opening.
Russian media reports said that the new jet has been built by the Sukhoi aircraft maker in a program of development of a light tactical fighter.
Unlike Russia's latest Su-57 two-engine stealth fighter, the new aircraft is smaller and has one engine.
The Su-57 has been built to match the U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighter, but unlike the American aicraft that has been in service since 2005 its serial production is just starting and a new engine intended to give it the capability to cruise at supersonic speed is still under development.
The new warplane's name is unknown, and there is no information about its capability and deployment prospects.
