Export Su-57 on the eve of the premiere
A few days later, the next MAKS air show opens. As part of this event, the Russian aviation The industry plans to show some interesting new products. The main premiere of the cabin may be a promising fifth-generation fighter Su-57 in export performance. As it turned out, this version of the project is already ready and can be offered to foreign customers.
Su-57 fighters in flight
The Rosoboronexport organization, representing the interests of defense enterprises on the international market, announced the Su-57E project and its early premiere 16 in August. In the official press release of the organization announced several shows of modern aviation technology that can attract great attention of specialists and guests of the salon.
The Su-57E multipurpose fighter was developed by Sukhoi Company PJSC, which is part of the United Aircraft Corporation. To date, the aircraft has received the necessary export documentation, which allows us to offer it to potential customers. At the request of foreign partners, a presentation of new equipment can be organized.
Rosoboronexport in its message provided basic information about the Su-57E, but did not go into details. The exact technical appearance and differences from the basic version have not yet been disclosed. Probably, this will happen already during the upcoming salon MAX-2019.
The Su-57 project puts an end to the protracted stories with the creation of the export version of the Russian aircraft PAK-FA / T-50. This is the second attempt to adapt the initial project to the requirements of sales abroad, and this time there are serious successes. Export aircraft, at least, are ready for demonstration to potential buyers.
Recall, back in 2008, the Russian UAC and the Indian company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited agreed to jointly develop an export version of the T-50 called FGFA (Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft). It was assumed that the FGFA aircraft in the future will go into service with the Indian Air Force, and will also be sold to third countries. Subsequent joint work has repeatedly encountered problems of an organizational and other nature. In the spring of 2018, the Indian side decided to withdraw from the project.
Apparently, India’s refusal to cooperate did not have a fatal effect on the program as a whole. The Sukhoi company continued its work, which resulted in the export version of the fighter in the form of the current Su-57E. Now Russia can offer this equipment to foreign countries and earn on it - unlike India.
Technical features of the export version of Su-57 have not yet been specified, which does not allow us to draw some conclusions. At the same time, one can already try to predict the consequences of the appearance of the Su-57E, as well as to predict its commercial potential and impact on the international market for military aircraft.
The premiere of Su-57E will not go unnoticed. Fifth generation fighters invariably attract the attention of specialists and aviation enthusiasts, and the appearance of any new machine or modification becomes a real event. The export version of the Su-57 is unlikely to be an exception.
It should also be noted that this is not just about a new fighter, but about a car intended for sale to third countries. At the moment, there is only one fifth generation fighter on the international market - the American Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The appearance of a second aircraft of this class, available for order, can be considered the most important event on the aircraft market.
The Chinese edition of Sohu interestingly commented on the emerging situation. It notes that the F-35 actually monopolized the international market for next-generation fighters. The advent of the Su-57E will destroy such a monopoly. Lightning will no longer be the only fighter of its kind available to third countries.
Which countries will show real interest in the Su-57E and wish to buy such fighters is a big question. However, there are several characteristic factors that make it possible to present a circle of potential customers. It is curious that these factors are related both to the activities of the Russian aviation industry and to the work of foreign competitors.
Su-57E created by the company "Sukhoi", which occupies a strong position in the market of military aircraft. Hundreds of Su-class fighters and bombers are operated in dozens of foreign countries around the world. The good reputation of such equipment and its manufacturer, as well as the experience of its successful operation, can lead a potential buyer to a real order for Su-57E. Thus, according to optimistic forecasts, sooner or later, almost any country with a fleet of Su-57 or Su-27 aircraft may become a Su-30E customer.
In recent years, there have repeatedly been reports of interest in Su-57 from various foreign countries. The possibility of signing contracts with developing countries of Southeast Asia, South America, etc. was mentioned. The issue of further cooperation with India remains unresolved. This country has left the FGFA program, but still retains interest in fifth-generation fighters. Perhaps in the near future, the Indian Air Force will return to the idea of acquiring an export Su-57.
So far, the only competitor for the Su-57E can be considered the American F-35. At the same time, the US is taking some steps to simplify the sale of Russian equipment. The American side refuses to supply modern technology to a number of "unreliable" or hostile countries. By these actions they are being pushed to purchase military equipment of other states. Russia can take advantage of this circumstance and offer its own aircraft or other equipment. Perhaps such events will contribute to the overall portfolio of orders for Su-57E.
F-35 - the only fifth generation fighters on the international market so far
The already mentioned edition of Sohu gives an example of a possible implementation of such a scheme. Venezuela is hostile to the United States and suffers the consequences of their activities. In the past, it acquired Su-30 fighters from Russia, and in the future, as the economic situation improves, it can purchase Su-57E. Such a technique will be a good tool to counter American aggression.
Proper use of the contradictions between third countries to promote their aircraft can give Russia certain benefits. It is worth noting that similar methods have already been used by our industry. In the past, it was a threat from some states that contributed to the growth of sales of Russian air defense systems.
Now the Russian aviation industry is preparing a full-scale serial production of Su-57 fighters for its needs. In just a few days, UAC and Sukhoi will show the first Su-57E modification aircraft for foreign customers. Thus, work on the PAK-FA program continues successfully and leads to new positive results.
The plans of the Russian aerospace forces regarding the Su-57 are already known and will be implemented within a few years. The exact prospects for the export of Su-57E are still unknown, but there is every reason for positive forecasts. For several reasons, such equipment will be of interest to foreign customers and should become the subject of new contracts.
In general, a very interesting situation is developing. Full tactical and technical specifications and the entire list of Su-57E features have not yet been published, which does not allow us to evaluate the technical features of the project. With all this, the available data on export plans allow us to make far-reaching and very realistic forecasts.
The first display of the Su-57E fighter will take place next week, and then basic technical information should be disclosed. The premiere of the aircraft will be the occasion for various high-profile statements, including from potential buyers. Thus, even before the end of the upcoming MAKS-2019 air show, very interesting news about the contracts of our industry and the future of the fighter market.
