Foreign experts: "Queues were lined up for the Checkmate pavilion in Dubai, but no contracts for the fighter were signed"

Foreign experts are summing up the results of the recent international air show in the UAE. For Russia, it was notable for the fact that it hosted the first foreign presentation of the program to create a fifth-generation single-engine fighter, The Checkmate. For the presentation at the airfield, where the main part of the Dubai Airshow 2021 took place, a special pavilion was deployed, where a model of a promising Russian combat aircraft was exhibited.

Experts in the foreign media note that the Russian presentation certainly aroused interest, and mainly from the representatives of the Gulf countries, including the UAE. However, as noted, while the visit to the pavilion with the layout of The Checkmate has not gone further. After the completion of the Dubai air show, contracts for participation in The Checkmate program were not signed by the same Arab Emirates.

The US press writes that the UAE authorities "continue to rely on the supply of F-35s." Let's remind that earlier with such supplies there were problems because of the Israeli position. Israel is opposed to the fact that any country in the region, except itself, in the Air Force had fifth-generation fighters of American production. In connection with the position of Israel, the execution of the transaction for the sale of 50 F-35 aircraft to the Emirates was suspended. At the same time, statements appeared that the UAE was considering the possibility of acquiring fighters from Russia. As an option - Su-75 The Checkmate. But for now it is still in the form of a layout.

The fact that the Su-75 The Checkmate has not yet taken off and has not appeared in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces is considered by Western experts to be the main reason that so far the interest in it in the international arena remains low.

Reporter Jose Estebanos:

Russia even released a perfume to draw attention to its promising fighter jet.

It is noted that queues were lined up for the Checkmate pavilion, but not a single contract for the purchase of a promising fighter by foreign customers was signed.

It is suggested that potential customers are waiting for Russia to lift this aircraft into the sky and when it will enter service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. After that, it is possible to sign contracts with foreign stakeholders.

So what should you sign a contract for? To buy a layout? There is no plane yet - hardly anyone wants to buy a pig in a poke ...

[OgnennyiKotik]

In aviation, it's okay to sell a non-finished aircraft. Especially in the military, there, in general, almost all aircraft are financed from the idea level for the purchase of a certain number of products. The question is in the credibility of the manufacturer and the quality of the aircraft.
That’s the problem with trust. He is not here. Fantasy voiced stats do not add it.

[Runoway]

It's okay in aviation to sell a non-finished aircraft

Amendment IN NATO IT IS NORMAL WHEN THE US OFFERS SOMETHING, since there is not always the right to refuse
Although India also wanted with us, but merged, I don’t remember any more cases.
Really not the time to pay for a pig in a poke

[OgnennyiKotik]

If we are talking about India, then the example of the Su-30 is illustrative. It did not exist at the time the contract was signed. But there was trust. Upgrading the Su-27 with western avionics is an understandable and clear task.

[Runoway]

I would not compare! It's one thing to have a ready-made Su-27, which completely satisfied the customer, it just needed to be converted into a two-seater, another thing is a completely unknown aircraft, one theory

[nks]

In general, there were already two-seat versions of the Su-27 (the Su-27UB flew back in the 80s) and variants with PGO too. Indian requirements were mainly related to equipment and the main work was related precisely to the integration of equipment, however, including the adaptation of the airframe to it. The main technical problem with the checkmate project is in the aerodynamic design of the single-engine tailless design and DSI VZ, new for the Sukhoi Design Bureau, with which they have not seriously worked before.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Well, we'll have to wait. I really hope and want the Su-75 to be quickly created and become successful.

[Stirbjorn]

Come on, the contract was signed in 1996, and the first flight in 1989, and the operation in 1992.
You haven't confused with the T-90 for an hour ?!

[dorz]

Precisely the fact that the Su-75 The Checkmate has not yet taken off and has not appeared in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces

We are looking forward to modernizing the aircraft.

Indonesia has invested in Korean KF-X.
Pakistan paid China to develop JF-17

[seeker of truth 777]

Indonesia has not fully paid the money yet, most of the money has been invested by South Korea. The relationship between China and Pakistan is similar to Russia and Belarus.

[Serg Kam]

Indonesia has not paid in full yet

Still pays.
In advance. And I started paying before the first flight.

[seeker of truth 777]

Indonesia has taken over the $ 1,9 billion project but has so far paid only $ 180 million. 180 million, two SU-35s.

[Serg Kam]

[paul3390]

Duc - you need to show at least a prototype flying! Anything other than the layout. Then perhaps someone can think about joining the development. And here - there is nothing but good intentions ..

[Gambit44]

Obviously, the military is waiting for a new engine and therefore does not want to adopt a new aircraft with an old engine, albeit a very good one.

[Elturisto]

Will give and even fight with non-ready planes is also normal - no need for pilots, no airfields, no weapons, what kind of economy.

And I think it's not a matter of trust in the manufacturer. They are happy to take our SU-30, SU-35, etc. The point is in the work of the defense industry marketers. The presentation was beautiful, and they did not take care of creating a crowd in the queue. It would be possible for the same Serbs or Iranians (ideally also the Chinese, but this is unlikely) to be asked to conclude grandiose, but non-binding contracts for the supply of large consignments of Shahermats. According to the principle "if the plane takes place and the price is acceptable, then maybe later ..." And say that the supply is limited. Not enough for everyone. Hurry, fly in. I think that then the Arabs would react correctly.

What scam are you talking about? There are buyers (including fake ones). With their advance payments, the manufacturer calmly finishes the device. Then it increases the rate of production. Deliveries are made (including for yourself). Fake buyers get a discount. All to be honest. The method is not new. Many samples of weapons and military equipment were created in this way.

For "theirs" - not obligatory, but pretentious, to create excitement (and it will not work to cut a lot of wool from Serbia and Iran, therefore it is pointless to oblige them). And after the program reaches its design capacity, you can buy "friends" if you wish. For complicity - a discount.

What are the Iranians and even more so the Chinese? To begin with, we would have signed a contract with our Ministry of Defense, as for the S-400 and 500. Then someone might have thought, despite the large delays in current contracts for aircraft.

[Galleon]

All the aircraft listed by you have a Soviet history, and the current Russian SU-57 still cannot be completed and put into service. What to talk about if an aircraft of the same design bureau and the same manufacturer exists only in a model? They can’t bring the old one to mind, when it’s the turn of the mock-up. It's one thing when there is not enough money, but there may not be enough brains, energy, and money. Only marketing is enough. And where there is only marketing, there is a scam.

[Polite Moose]

Quote: Galleon

Does the historical past determine the possibility of adopting a product for service? The Soviet SU-27 and the Russian SU-35 have many differences. As for the SU-57, its technological level is much higher. To make a successful 5th generation aircraft with its stealth, cruising supersonic and "smart casing", and even without a printing press at its side - this is not a ram coughing. Dendrofecal technologies will not work. Well, 2022. not far away. I believe that we will see the 57th in combat units.

[Galleon]

Quote: Polite Elk

The engine for cruising supersonic was designed and designed for quite some time - the Rybinsk plant announced the start of its production a year ago. There are no planes with these engines yet.

Quote: Polite Elk

Dendrofecal technologies will not work.

I don't know what it is. Not a specialist. Do you think there are more and more of these technologies in aviation?
You are giving reasonable arguments for the difficulties with the SU-57. Therefore, they only came to the exhibition to look at the model. Your arguments, with which I, of course, agree - justification of no reaction to powerful PR and smell instead of a flying prototype.

[Polite Moose]

Quote: Galleon

The engine for cruising supersonic was designed and designed for quite some time - the Rybinsk plant announced the start of its production a year ago. There are no planes with these engines yet.

Our designers set the bar for themselves very high. Do not forget that in addition to the cruising SZ, there is also the task of implementing the super-maneuverability mode. This is akin to harnessing a horse and a quivering doe in a carriage. The task is daunting. That is why I mentioned the impossibility of using dendrofecal technologies (in simple terms - from vna and branches).

Quote: Galleon

Do you think there are more and more of these technologies in aviation?

I think that in aviation these technologies are not only less and less, but not at all. And the complexity of the task determines the timing of its completion. And don't forget about finances.

[Runoway]

And say the supply is limited

So it goes without saying, have you seen the pace of assembly of the Su-57 ?! Here is a demonstration of the possibilities how much you can simultaneously produce the su-75.
Again, I will thicken the colors, how many years have passed from the first flying prototype of the Su-57 to the first conveyor one? -voooot. What money to invest in, how to share it like a bear in the forest, no one has ever seen.
And what ours promise

You reason, just like our MO. First, submit the bride, and then kalym (maybe). The article deals with the commercial voyage of our defense industry workers who need to assemble a "cooperative of equity holders". But they came across a tight-fisted and cunning people. I've voiced my thoughts aloud, so to speak.
And you won't see a bear in the forest so easily. To begin with, you should at least buy vodka and a bus.

Did the nimble guys from Rosoboronexport take the dummies to Dubai to create the look of a queue for "hot cakes"? Can you imagine? The dummies are queuing up for the mock-up!

[Zaurbek]

This is fine. So they sold both F16 and F35 (one became the most massive in the 4th generation, the second will become in the 5th) ...... The Russian Federation does not have such a history of cooperation as the United States (the USSR would have with MiG15,17,21,19 and Mi2 and An-2 and An12 and something else) but there were questions with the commercial success of this and there is no longer that CMEA market and the Warsaw Pact .... and the Russian Federation does not have a history of full-fledged development of an aircraft with foreign partners ... from scratch. The USA, however, is also starting to mow with Turkey in F35

There was no prototype for such a development.

At the time of the conclusion of the contract, there was not even a layout.

This does not mean anything if something that has already been developed earlier, but is kept secret, is taken as a basis. If they showed the layout, then everything is already there. At least at the level of design documentation. I think so.

[Serg Kam]

If they showed the layout, then everything is already there. At least at the level of design documentation.

Let's just say: any design bureau takes developments from past, proven solutions.
The same ShakhMat received the engine and avionics from the Su-57, and that, in turn, received an improved engine from the Su-35, and the one from the Su-27, and the one improved from the Su-17 :).

But despite the fact that "everything is there", it can take many years from a model to a serial sample.
The same prototype of the Su-27 flew in 1977 and entered service in 1990.

[203-K]

The same prototype of the Su-27 flew in 1977 and entered service in 1990.

It was within the country, and then there was a different relationship between the customer and the performers. And now it will be an interstate agreement with penalties. It is unlikely that the performer will want to take risks, which is why they take up the contract, knowing that it will be executed on time. So they have a reason for this.

[Wut lol]

Actually, we are talking about "joint" development, or rather investing. But Brazil is already occupied by Grippen, India by Tejas, Korea is not an option nowadays, like Taiwan, but it also works with Indonesia. I am generally silent about Japan as well as about Europe, the example of the Yak-130 should not be forgotten. Argentina is weak, Turkey is dangerous, but still an option, but within a limited range of technology transfer. Iran under heavy sanctions. Pakistan, we will lose India.

[Roma 1977]

Tejas was born dead. A kind of analogue of INSAS, only with wings.

[The popuas]

Our Turkey contracted to help with their 5th generation aircraft

[Seafood]

Grippen and Tejas are the last generation, and Tejas, even in its own generation, is a very dubious device with a mediocre value for money. For the Indian aircraft industry, this is generally a success as an opportunity to master and test knowledge in this area, but the aircraft as a whole is not a competitor in the market. So there were quite a few opportunities for cooperation with India on 5th generation aircraft.

I don't think everyone was waiting for a contract, there are no naive people in the world. We need powerful PR at the moment and intrigue. As far as I understand, there are no problems with this.

But in this, I think, you are mistaken. The leaders of all this perfume were waiting for contracts. They created a powerful PR and expected a return, but it turned out that there was not enough small - an airplane! Other such leaders of the aircraft industry also created a powerful PR around the Il-112, considering it insignificant to complete the plane itself for PR and give it normal engines. Only he did not fly in PR and our comrades, wonderful pilots ...
In short, there is some kind of trend with this PR. The management is working, trying, promoting, and the aviation industry got crappy and sparsely at the exit.

Everyone was just taken aback and still won't come to their senses. Therefore, it is the turn to look at it, touch it with your hands. There was no time to get used to it at all. Simple psychology.

I agree, preliminary, before the conclusion of a contract for the supply of "goods" is preceded by work to assess the quality of the goods, its consumer properties, benefits from its implementation. However, as far as I know, the Americans (Fed. US government) carried out work to "attract" funds to finance the F-35 project from outside (other countries), when the F-35 was at the stage of working drawings, in other words, a "startup".

I believe that by its actions the administration of the VO expresses indifference towards the readers of the VO and contributes to a decrease in interest in the site!

This means fake "pictures".) But seriously, I have no idea what they mean by "watermarks" regarding pictures.

Here I am about the same! Moreover, when you click the "insert image" icon. A different "design" appears than it was before ... And this appeared only today! Moreover, illustrations that have been posted on the Internet for more than one year and have become very popular for a long time are not "inserted"!

In fact, everything is correct. Why induce the anger of the Americans. After all, the first buyer who comes across will be incinerated by the Americans in the media, through deep channels. And when the plane takes to the sky, then there will already be more clarity

Foreign experts: "Queues were lined up for the Checkmate pavilion in Dubai, but no contracts for the fighter were signed"

They are familiar with the contracts for "SSJ-100", "Yo-mobile", "Yotafon" ... And how many "miracles" and "analogs will pass away" that have not received the right to exist have passed by in 20 years ...

[Runner2022]

I'm curious that there are people who, in the most serious manner, are discussing the versions, purchases - not purchases, of a new fighter.

It is even more incomprehensible how the logic of the authors of such articles works. Everyone can see perfectly well that the plane has just been given a “start”. But everyone builds different versions, including conspiracy theories.

Let's not compare the F-35 with the United States, which was built by all the countries of the Big Six, which are the “sixes” of the United States.

Listen, well, you can be adequate. Do you only go crazy on aliens or are you more than one under this nickname?

The time is such - the hegemon falls ... everyone quietly negotiates and contracts so that the hegemon does not drag him into the funnel out of anger :) Such contracts do not like noise ...

How can a king buy a plane
called "Death to the King" (checkmate)?

[Lukash]

Of course, Russia at the Dubai Air Show 2021 created a furor of plywood misunderstanding. But, importantly, no one showed interest in the non-flying, but "unparalleled in the world" fighter with the "amazing" Checkmate characteristics.

Results of the Dubai Air Show 2021:
Airbus received orders for 408 aircraft
Boeing receives orders for 101 aircraft
UAC received 0 orders for Superjet 100
Irkut received 0 orders for MC-100

During the air show, Rosoboronexport received requests for the supply of aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles for $ 2,5 billion, TASS reported on November 16, citing Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheev. In addition, on the sidelines of the exhibition, the company signed contracts worth $ 1,3 billion.

The Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant began production of light tactical aircraft (LTS), better known as Checkmate or Su-75. This was announced during the Dubai Airshow by the head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Yuri Slyusar, quoted by RBC.

“At the plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, work began on the construction of several Checkmates at the same time,” he said.

[Lukash]

I wonder why the plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur never succeeds in making light tactical aircraft (LTS), better known as Checkmate or Su-75?
And regarding the supply of aircraft - yes, there is a complete list, for example, 2 Mi-171A2 helicopters were purchased in Peru.
A sensation at the Dubai Air Show 2021 - he is, you know, unpredictable!
But the Bulgarians were delighted, that's for sure!

Do you work part-time with Vanga?

[Knell wardenheart]

Considering that at one time the Indians merged from the Su-57 project, because it was long and expensive, and also given the sanctions that the United States now likes to hand out for the purchase of our high-tech weapons, I am not surprised that there are not many who want to. The plane is still extremely abstract, despite the fact that its characteristics and functionality radiate some kind of fountain of potency and optimism. It is also worth noting that due to the COVID crisis with gold in stores, high-tech fans have become worse, and they began to make purchases more carefully. Well, it's not over yet - we have time to bring the layout to mind and make a demonstrator plane out of it. Then maybe all these tendencies will move

[seeker of truth 777]

We know how to promote! buy one Su-75 and get a Russian Prado for free!

[Yakuza]

Airplane made of plywood, asking for money for design and development? When, on what components - sanctions after all. The price is stated at the level of the Chinese export fighter, by the way with a phased array, and it is actually available.

[Alexey Lamonov]

It's too early. There are no floating copies, the development has just been presented, six months ago. There was a message about the start of construction of three copies in K-on-Amur.

[Butchcassidy]

Not all at once

[FoBoss_V]

The main thing is that there is no plane yet, and the stink has already been mixed for it. Probably already, the floor mats are ready and the finish of the tidy of what color is the veneer. Keep it up ))

[alystan]

And how should they write their news messages, designed mainly for the layman, their own and other countries loyal to them, when no one has canceled fakes and their task is to expose competitors and enemies in an unattractive light and losers. So they try to "work" in their usual way. This is fair competition, according to them. But if you just try to do this with them, you will immediately get the stigma of a Kremlin propagandist, provocateur and just a bribed journalist!

[Ol willy]

If the Chinese make a version of the J-20 for export, then the Asian market will be lost for us. Even if we consider the fifth generation fighter purely as a "symbol of prestige", then the Chinese have already overtaken us in this.

Queues are lined up, but apparently no one knows to write in Russian. Here's what the USE did to them. But Comrade Lenin with a cry in his voice asked - you need to study, study, study. And the capitalists do not know what it is, they know speculation and make money.

[Brinks]

Such contracts for products giving total superiority for many decades are rarely advertised. There is already a flight model, but it is a drone according to the hunter program, it differs from the model with a pilot and, in fact, is already the 6th generation. It will definitely go into service with the Russian Federation as a drone, as for the option with a pilot, there is no information at the moment

[Baron pardus]

Here's a guy who made a layout for the TIE Interceptor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTvY9Llqtms There are no orders for it either for the Air Force of the Gulf and BRICS countries. So the combat readiness of the SU-75 is about the same as that of this model. So there is nothing to be surprised at. You can make a mockup of anything. At least TIE Interceptor, at least TIE Fighter, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn4xEan8hEU At least a Klingon Bird of Prey, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GruU3VFS-p0 there are cartoons too. But not a single Air Force orders. They order neither TIE FIGHTER, nor TIE INTERCEPTOR, nor Klingon Bird of Prey, nor SU-75 .. The combat readiness of all 4x is the same. And no one will order the SU-75 until the Russian Air Force takes it into service, and MASSOVO at that. The USA was led smarter. When they sold the F-5E, they themselves also took it into service. And when the F-20 was created, it was a great aircraft. But since it was not in service with the US Air Force, no one bought it. And the F-20 is the same age as the F-16, and endured the early models of the F-16. And unlike the more expensive F16, the F20 could use Air Air SPARROW rockets. but since it is not in service with the US Air Force. So nobody bought it. And with the SU-75 (when it finally ceases to be a model and a cartoon), it will be the same. No matter how good it was (see F-20), if the Russian Air Force does not take it into service with MASSOVO, no one will buy a nifiga.

Checkmate

When will this outrageousness end? Are there not enough Russian words?
