The KLA confirmed its readiness to transfer the 76 Su-57 to the 2028 of the Russian Federation VKS
According to Slyusar, UAC has prepared a process for the production of the newest aircraft. Production will be conducted at the aircraft plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, which is one of the most modern.
- said the head of the KLA, answering the corresponding question of journalists.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in the period before 2028, the Russian Aerospace Forces would not buy the 16, but the 76 of the latest fifth-generation Su-57 fighter. This decision was made due to the manufacturer’s price reduction by 20 percent. At the same time, Russian media reported that with the construction of such a number of Su-57 planes, the value of the entire contract could amount to 170 billion rubles. A new contract for the supply of the Su-57 Defense Ministry should be concluded soon.
Earlier it was reported that the first serial Su-57 from the installation batch will go to the video conferencing facility until November of the 2019 year, and the second will be shipped to 2020. The contract for the supply of the first two Su-57 serials was concluded in 2018 with the delivery of the Russian Aerospace System of one aircraft in 2019 and 2020.
The first Su-57 fighters will be delivered to the VKS with the engine of the first stage, which provides super-maneuverability, thrust-to-weight ratio and low visibility of the aircraft. The engine of the second stage, which will provide the Su-57 supersonic cruising speed, will be put on aircraft from the 2023 year.
