The ex-head of "Antonov" accused Russia of "industrial espionage" when creating the Su-75
The creation of the Russian promising single-engine fighter Checkmate was facilitated by the "large-scale industrial espionage" program implemented by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. This statement was made by the ex-head of the state enterprise "Antonov" Alexander Los in an interview with the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express.
Russia was engaged in industrial espionage under the guise of a project to create a short-haul passenger aircraft Sukhoi SuperJet 100. This project, according to Los, allowed the Russians to work closely with European aircraft manufacturers, having received information on the design and assembly of aircraft.
- said the ex-head of "Antonov".
According to him, the new Russian Su-75 is a MiG-21 with stealth elements, electronics and high-precision weapons... At its core, Checkmate is a miniature copy of the Su-57 and this is a "smart decision", he adds. However, Russia has huge gaps with electronics that have to be purchased from China.
