Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation named possible dates for the start of mass production of The Checkmate fighters

52

In our country, the issue of a possible purchase of the promising fighter The Checkmate, presented not so long ago at the aerospace show in the Moscow region, is being discussed at the highest level. In particular, statements on this issue were made at the Tyumen Oil and Gas Forum.

One of the discussed sides of the issue is whether to offer for export weapons that are not yet purchased for the needs of our own Armed Forces. If no contracts have been signed for the Russian Aerospace Forces for the supply of a promising new generation light fighter (Su-75), will foreign partners be ready to invest money in a Russian manufacturer to buy these combat vehicles?



This issue was discussed with the participation of the Deputy Prime Minister of the country Yuri Borisov. According to him, it is normal for potential foreign buyers to ask if Russia itself is going to adopt The Checkmate's Su-75 fighters, which it offers for export.

According to Yuri Borisov, who spoke out during the aforementioned forum, when considering plans for a new state armaments program (GPV), attention will be paid to the possible purchase of a new generation of single-engine fighters for the Russian Aerospace Forces. Yuri Borisov noted that without such a purchase within the country, the export potential of The Checkmate will be significantly lower.

At the same time, the deputy head of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers noted that the establishment of mass production of this aircraft could take place by 2025-2026. And then he made an important remark - “if there is a demand”.

According to Borisov, if this does not happen, if there is no demand and, accordingly, the mass production of the Su-75, then Russia simply will not be able to enter the market of single-engine modern fighters, where the United States is already present and where China is trying to enter.

Deputy Prime Minister noted the spread of single-engine fighters in the world aviation, their relevance and broad prospects for combat use. If the Russian fighter has such a competitive advantage as the price against the background of advanced capabilities, then there is no doubt about its prospects in the domestic and world markets. However, so far everything is only in the future tense ...

      “If there is demand”.

      Forgive the demand for what ?! Where does this demand come from, when, in fact, nothing but a layout, the moment-35 is not needed by anyone in fact, and they are about some kind of chess

          This is exactly the layout. Not flying, not suitable for static tests. It is the layout. And photographs of his belly under the nozzle testify to this.
          I have a question for the UAC and Rostec - is there a radar for the Su-57 "Belka" for sure? Works ?
          Or, as suggested three years ago, launched into production with ... "Irbis"?
          And for the MiG-35 radar with AFAR ready?
          And what kind of engine is planned for this “chess player”?

          I would be glad that they took up a light single-engine fighter ... but it looks like ...
          Su-57 will be handed over at least a couple of units this year?
          And will the Ulyanovsk plant be able to deliver at least one more Il-76MD90A before the end of this year? (Promised 6 pcs.)
          These managers have failed everything they tried ... and again promises and farce ...
          ... No, there is no doubt that such an aircraft can be made ... but you can not do it.
          And if you can not do ... then you can not do ...
          And they won't.
          Unless they promise something else.

          The guarantor promised a lot ... and Rogozin ... Yes
          TRADITION ...

              Not at all. This logic only works at the bazaar level. Any complex project begins, to one degree or another, with "sell something that is not yet available", without this long-term planning is impossible, and without it it is impossible to create and produce such complex systems.

                  Selling something that doesn't exist is completely normal.
                  Boeings, for example, sell planes only at the design stage.
                  When the project reaches a certain degree of certainty in terms of the characteristics of the future airplane.
                  They take Boeing sales of these performance characteristics and go to aviation companies with proposals.
                  And those, knowing that Boeing rarely messes up, can make a purchase decision in advance.
                  Without even seeing the plane.
                  Because there is Boeing's word, there are characteristics and there is risk inherent in the margin

                  Now, if our Sukhoi had the same image, there would already be a queue for a checkmate.
                  But. Since there is no such a grandiose image, you will have to loosen up a couple of dozen cars for yourself, drive them to all sorts of shows before you can sell.

                    First, let the Su-57 be put into series production - in the declared configuration.
                    With multi-web radar AFAR "Belka".
                    And they will equip at least one regiment with them.
                    And believe me - doubts will disappear immediately. because it is easier to make a half of what has already been done, and such an opportunity is obvious.
                    In the meantime, the inability of the UAC to create and serial production of a new generation of aircraft is obvious.
                    Precisely - it is obvious.
                    Everyone.
                    Therefore, there is no queue.
                    But what was developed \ created \ debugged \ put into the troops during the union - they take it. Because they take what they have.
                    A country unable to resume production of even An-2 (!!!) and a conventional turboshaft engine for a light transport aircraft ... Ka-62 helicopters ... Ka-226 ... Ansat ... Mi-26 ... by the way, the same engines were installed on those several already built Mi-38s as on the Il-112 and Il-114 ...
                    This is import substitution .... why did they arrange this circus with a model?
                    No, they caught up with the intrigue really professionally ... and nothing ... but we are talking about MASS production in a FEW years !!!
                    Maybe this is how the covid works?
                    Or is the serum / vaccine miraculous?

          Why shouldn't the plane work? There are developments in technologies for the SU-57. With the use of that groundwork, technically "assembling" another plane should not be a problem from the word at all. There is a competitive advantage - the price. It seems that there is also an adaptation to market demands.

          Trick? Well, if it doesn't work out like this, then the second run can be done when there is a real flying demonstrator confirming the characteristics.

          If it doesn't work out like this, the next step will be to contract it for its own aerospace forces, and not in the form of an exemplary squadron ...

          Well, if, after all this, export sales still do not work out .. well, then it didn’t work, but we tried it seriously.

    Previously, officials, designers, managers of enterprises did not appear in the media every day, but went about their business. Today, deputy chairmen, heads of corporations, and some "employees" appear on TV every day and give interviews to various media outlets, showing their importance and competence. So maybe all the same it is more effective and more understandable for the people when information is given about the specific work done and the adoption of this or that equipment (which entered the troops)? And the "huge number of plans" does not have to be announced before they are fulfilled.
