- says the report.
Among the countries interested in the fifth-generation Russian fighter, as well as Russian-made drones, the company includes countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Southeast Asia and North Africa.
This report was created taking into account the combat use of both the export version of the Su-57 fighter and the Okhotnik strike drone, which was created for use with this fighter. In addition, the company relies on the development of hypersonic combat aircraft systems.
