Russian fighter Checkmate compared with its competitor from the United States on the likely cost of a flight hour

110

The state corporation "Rostec" compared the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-75 Checkmate with its main competitor from the United States, which is considered to be the F-35, in terms of economics. For this, the most suitable indicator was taken - the probable cost of a flight hour.

The result obtained in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro was announced by the general director of Rostec Sergey Chemezov.



He stated that the cost of a flight hour of the American F-35 fighter is seven times higher than that of its Russian counterpart. The head of the state corporation noted that they decided to compare the two aircraft because they have similar technical characteristics. They are both fifth-generation single-engine fighters. But the Checkmate proved to be seven times more economical to operate than the F-35.

And if the American fighter is already in service with the US Air Force and satellite countries, then the serial production of the Russian analogue has not yet begun. True, in the process of operation in the design of the F-35, many flaws were revealed, the number of which is in the hundreds, which made this aircraft a kind of "record holder".


The newest Russian-made Su-75 will be shown for the first time abroad at the international aviation Dubai Airshow 2021, which will be held in the capital of the United Arab Emirates from 14 to 18 November. In Russia, this fighter was previously demonstrated at the MAKS-2021 air show.

                  Where is the Trotter? Was it approved by Putin back in 2014?

                  Closed, canceled projects are dark, and even projects embodied in metal were canceled, so the appearance of a model does not guarantee the adoption of the aircraft into service

                      The trotter is ready, but there is no demand for it due to the decline of small aircraft in Russia

                      The Rysachok project is closed.
                      Although small aircraft are sorely lacking.

                      “We are talking about a very difficult situation. We have lost polar aviation, we are losing small aviation. There are no planes, there are no communications between regions. interregional development ", - said Valentina Matvienko.

                      "It is necessary to expand the network of intraregional air routes, modernize small airports, renew the aircraft fleet on these flights. In general, small aircraft flights should become more accessible to citizens," Vladimir Putin stressed. He stressed that small aviation is an extremely important direction in the development of air transport. "There are corresponding plans for the production of Russian domestic equipment for regional transportation."

                      There are plans for production, the aircraft is ready, the president approved serial production and the project is closed.

                      So where in the picture should I put this Rysachok?

                      And why is there such confidence that the Su-75 in no case can repeat the fate of any of the above? "This is different, don't you understand"?

                        The trotter is ready - the certification stage remained, but since they did not find a place in the market, in the end they covered it up - this is the fate of most projects of the 90s, when they wanted to create a new car in cooperation with the West, but it eventually got dynamic

                        the fate of most projects of the 90s

                        On June 25, 2007, a contract was signed between the state customer represented by the Ulyanovsk Higher Aviation School of Civil Aviation and Technoavia for the production of an experimental batch of 5 aircraft.
                        How long do you have in the 90s.

                        create a new machine in cooperation with the West, and he eventually

                        Vladimir Putin, publicly supporting the project in July 2014 and sitting at the wheel of the Rysachka (the car was a prototype), advised the developers to replace the American avionics and the Czech Walter M601 engine with Russian ones. It was planned to create a Russian TV-500 engine especially for Rysachka; the Salyut gas turbine research and production center was involved in its development.

                        Again a lie. According to the plan, the trotter must be certified made of Russian components.

                        And finally: "Progress" was actively negotiating with potential buyers and there were "oral orders" for 300 aircraft. The creators of the aircraft also announced a possible contract with the Ministry of Defense.

                        Therefore, the project ended, despite Putin's approval, despite the fact that it was exhibited and flew, despite the order for 310 aircraft.

                        But the 5th generation multi-role jet fighter is cheap and simple, “you don’t understand anything else,” so it will be built without fail, even though there is no order.

                        And they could, if not take, then at least smash Primorye from the sea.
                        And what would you have achieved then? Having already lost the entire fleet? Return Arthur?
                        And why is he needed without a fleet?
                        The key to winning that war lay in dominating the sea.
                        And it is the savings on the construction of new ships at all available shipyards, savings on ammunition, artillery, coastal batteries, the preparation of Arthur as a naval base (deepening the fairways, equipping batteries, building a dock, stocking the proper amount of shells and organizing their production and equipment in situ) led to this shame.
                        RI lost the war LONG before the start of the war.

                        The Japanese can today not only take away the Kuriles, but also the entire Pacific Fleet (or rather, what is left of it) in Primorye with their aircraft.
                        Of course, they will not climb to the continent, because China has its own interests in the Primorsky Territory too.
                        But they can break all the most important objects. They will simply be numerically crushed. Hundreds of modern fighters are no joke.
                        And they will cover the Kuril Islands at once.
                        At one time, there were the most powerful air defense and MPA groups.
                        On Sokol (Sakhalin) MiG-31 were based, in the Golden Valley (Primorye) Su-27, Chuguev (Primorye), Vozdvizhenka (Tu-22M3), Khvalynka (Tu-22MR), Pristan (Su-24M).
                        None of this has been in sight for a long time! Only in the Central Corner 22nd regiment on the Su-35S and MiG-31.
                        That's all they have there.
                        This is against Japan, against the American numerous air bases there, against the American bases in South Korea and against the carrier-based aircraft of the AUG, which are based in Yokosuka.
                        Here is the alignment. All our security in the Far East has long been fiction.
                        Comparisons on ships do not need to be carried out at all - laughter and sin, as they say.

                        The only thing that could strike at a considerable distance is the Tu-22M3 from Vozdvizhenka, which went into metal.
                        There, one of the pilots later became an astronaut and recently told how they flew the Tu-22M3 past the Kuril ridge in the old days and the Japanese had no desire to make claims about the islands.
                        So in Khurba (Su-34) and Dzemgakh (Su-35) there is aviation. In the neighboring region. But this is not enough, and far away - over the South Kuriles they would have to operate at the limit of the radius.

      Even if it existed in the gland, it would still not be possible to compare.
      The cost of the aircraft and spare parts depends on marketing, what price tag will be drawn. If the cost price of the new aircraft turns out to be mega cheap, it will still be sold for the "market" price, being guided by the existing offers on the market.

      Figuratively speaking, we received an aircraft with an operating cost of 100 CU per hour, similar ones on the market have an indicator of 1000 CU per hour. We draw price tags so that it would turn out to be 500-750 CU. Raking profits, capturing the market.

      In addition, the F35 is, as it were, "slightly" heavier, and therefore an hour of flight should cost more.

    They are both fifth-generation single-engine fighters. But the Checkmate proved to be seven times more economical to operate than the F-35.

    Plywood model, but it costs only 7 times cheaper than a flying plane.
    Or how did they think, given that there is no serial aircraft?

    True, in the process of operation in the design of the F-35, many flaws were revealed, the number of which is in the hundreds, which made this aircraft a kind of "record holder".
