Russia is considering the Su-75 aircraft as a platform for developing a new fighter for the Middle East.

The Russian promising single-engine fighter Su-75 Checkmate is considered by our designers as a platform for creating a new combat aircraft ordered by the countries of the Middle East. The general director of Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev, spoke about this.

The Su-75 was originally designed as an open-architecture aircraft, so based on this project it is possible to create a fighter with specified characteristics for Arab countries. And such plans exist; the Arabs really want to have an inexpensive but quite powerful fighter. Today, this option is the most realistic, since the design of the aircraft already includes the possibility of developing complexes for solving various problems, including unmanned ones.

The fifth generation light tactical aircraft Checkmate (...) with an open architecture is today the most relevant product for building projects for the joint development of promising aviation complexes in the Middle East region

- leads TASS Mikheev's words.

The promising Su-75 fighter is being created in three versions: single-seat, double-seat and unmanned. The aircraft is being developed taking into account deliveries to both Russian aerospace forces and foreign customers. Declared characteristics: speed - up to 2M, flight range - up to 3 thousand km, combat load weight - 7,4 thousand kg. A radar with AFAR, a XNUMX-degree optical and radio reconnaissance system, a built-in electronic jamming system, an optical sighting system, and a wide-range communication system are installed.

They do! The plan is to replace all Mig-29s with them.
In terms of timing, I don’t know how quickly everything will be...

replace all Mig-29s with them - so they all seem to be based in Armenia, change so change!

Of course, they will be changed - in ALL countries that are interested and have not yet switched to more expensive SU aircraft.

Yes, the only MiG-29 regiment is based in Armenia. But there is also a deck regiment for Kuznetsov, because the MiG-35S is based on the MiG-29K\KUB airframe. But it was stated that the MiG-35S had already been put into production both for the Aerospace Forces and for at least two foreign customers. And now we need to at least double the fleet of combat aircraft as quickly as possible, and the practice of 2 years of the Northern Military District has shown that the war may not be able to be carried out with heavy aircraft alone. And MiG has two factories that are not loaded, with ready-made lines for assembling the MiG-35S.

[credo]

I wonder if it will ever be put into series or if it will just be shown at foreign exhibitions.

[I'm mine]

Since foreigners are interested, there will be an order. So they will put it into series. There you look and it will go to our videoconferencing

At first it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just lift it into the sky.

Next year, the first flight of the Su-75. In essence, this will be a light single-engine modification of the Su-57. Everything is the same, only the airframe design has been changed and there is one engine instead of two. So, taking into account the start of construction of the Su-57M, the Su-75 fighter should be brought into series production quickly. The MiG-35 is participating in the SVO and the decision on their serial production will be made based on the experience of their use in the SVO.

[vik669]

Mig-35s are participating in the SVO and Su-57s and many other things are also participating - just like in the Olympics, the main thing is not victory, but participation!

[solar]

Taking into account the start of construction of the Su-57M, the Su-75 fighter should be brought into production quickly

The Su-57 is currently being produced in single copies. This is unlikely to contribute to the serial production of the Su-75

[shikin]

However, there are already 22 Su-57s. About 2 dozen should be produced this year.

[shurshun]

Where does the data come from that there are 22 and that 20 more will be released this year?

[shikin]

Answered a little lower. There are some links in the comments.

[solar]

Where did you get these numbers from? This has never been stated anywhere.

[shikin]

There are no official data and there won’t be any soon. But according to various sources and forums this is the figure.
And in terms of production, last year they produced 10-12 aircraft. This year they planned to double the output.
We began to form the first Su-57 regiment.
Here, for example: https://dzen.ru/a/ZYv_4OvCJlTsFpdM

[shikin]

And one more thing: https://bmpd.livejournal.com/4789177.html

[alexmach]

Actually yes, they answered below. This particular figure, in my opinion, comes from bmpd. They also provide justification for this figure according to official reports. In my opinion, it looks realistic, and even if the figure is suddenly overestimated, it’s not by much. And probably the Su-57 either can no longer be called a piece, or very soon it will no longer be possible to call it that...

By the end of 2022, 11 production Su-57 fighters were built under this contract, of which, after the loss of the lead aircraft on December 24, 2019 at the final stage of factory testing, the Russian Aerospace Forces received ten aircraft. Including KnAAZ in 2020-2021 transferred four Su-57 aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces, and in 2022 - six more (two in May and four in December). Apparently, in total, about 2023 Su-11 aircraft were delivered to the Russian Aerospace Forces in 57.

[Vladislav Volokhov]

57 will not be produced in any quantities until they receive the engines. There is no point

[knn54]

- to create a new combat aircraft ordered by the countries of the Middle East.
How many planes were sold to the Middle East in light of the sanctions?

[neworange88]

How might sanctions affect the supply of military equipment abroad?

[knn54]

-How can sanctions affect the supply of military equipment abroad?

Back in 2017, the Yankees passed the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA),
In 2014 - 2018 Russia exported 21% of all weapons in the world, and the United States - 36%, while in 2009-2013. these figures were 27% and 30% respectively.
Today, the Russian Federation is in fifth place in arms exports. The secondary sanctions received by China and Turkey do not inspire optimism among potential buyers.

How are the Yankees strangling everyone who buys our equipment, and Russian goods in general?

[vik669]

Maybe saturate with MiG-35 - but somehow it's not funny anymore, for how many years now everyone who is not too lazy has been saturating themselves and continues ... to saw, but unfortunately not the taiga in hand-to-hand combat! This was said by the general director of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheev - the circus has left, but the clowns remain

[I dare to_notice_]

Too shy to ask...
Or maybe it’s better if he doesn’t fly with us first?

[vik669]

The MiG-35 began to be created in the 2000s. The first rollout and flight of the MiG-35, created on the basis of the MiG-29M2, took place in January 2007 - today is February 2024, so you are not here!

And this is the essence of capitalism. Could you imagine that during the Second World War the People's Commissariat of Defense Industry was developing military equipment for sale abroad

But what about the supplies of Soviet-made aircraft to Spain in the 30s of the twentieth century?! By the way, Italian and German one-class aviation was satisfied. I understood it with a bang. The same cannot be said about the Spanish partisans.

[Bully]

But what about the supplies of Soviet-made aircraft to Spain in the 30s of the twentieth century?

The comparison doesn't work. The bottom line is that the main task was to saturate our armed forces with the necessary equipment in a short time, and not to develop and produce military equipment for sale in order to make a profit

[opposite28]

A striking example from the Soviet era MiG-23 and MiG-27 in the implementation of military-economic cooperation with India. But the story of the cessation of the functioning of MAPO "MIG" raises a number of questions. Of course, the aircraft of the Sukhoi Design Bureau are beyond praise, but for what purpose to destroy MAPO "MIG" is not entirely clear, as well as the creation of preconditions for the dismissal of employees from the MiG Design Bureau with their subsequent transfer to the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

I remembered how our president complained that Western partners do not comply with the principles of fair competition
Lenin, a hundred years ago, practically “chewed” that there is, in principle, no fair competition in the capitalist world

But what about slogans like: “We don’t abandon our own!” ?! Who needs slogans?! The question is of course rhetorical, but still.

Our country has no desire to maintain several design bureaus. Let them cook in the same pot and hatch only the same ideas... In our country, productive labor is not held in high esteem...

So... they were “supplied” together with combat pilots...

The very fact of aircraft supplies is indicative. Without taking into account some subtext, so to speak.

Everything depends on the wishes of the Ministry of Defense. Currently, the VKS is supplied with the Su-57, which is not being sold abroad. If, after testing, the Su-75 is deemed a platform needed by the VKS, then it will also be purchased in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense. But for now, the VKS is betting on heavy fighters, which is not entirely correct. In the USSR Air Force, the ratio of heavy Su-27s to light MiG-29s was 1 to 3, in theory, the same ratio should be maintained when supplying the VKS with Su-57s and Su-75s, but how will they resolve the issue there?

[I dare to_notice_]

Yes... They know better there... with whom we are going to fight.

[Ross xnumx]

Russia is considering the Su-75 aircraft as a platform for the development of a new fighter...

Everything is fine, everything is great!
Let's wait until 2025... That's when they promise to show us the brainchild in life-size with all the characteristics.
And one more thing... There is a lot of chatter around deliveries abroad. It seems that the entire fleet of the Aerospace Forces has been updated, from transport aircraft to strategic (albeit updated) bombers, including the panacea for ills A-100...

Do we need LMFI or not? Looks like it's needed.
They made a new AL-51 engine (formerly “product 30”), equipped the Su-57M with it, the thrust-to-weight ratio increased to 1,17, and the flight range increased by 10%. Surely it will be installed on 75 cars, which will make them even more attractive to foreign customers.
For these machines we receive payment in hard currency, for which we purchase high-precision systems for our industry from third countries, in particular for mechanical engineering, research institutes and design bureaus.
We do not sell weapons and military equipment to everyone, but only to “friendly” countries, which undertake not to transfer them to third countries (USA, England, France, Germany, etc.)
Then, the decision to sell export versions of the new weapons and military equipment is made “at the top.” And from above, I think, you can see better than from the bunker. Because the “tops” have a much larger amount of information to make an informed decision regarding sales abroad.

Yes, we need the Su-57 to crush the Ukrainian air defense and carry out strikes using stealth technology...And what exactly is the Su-75 for? Will this make Arab countries dependent on supplies from Russia or...?

The promising Su-75 fighter is being created in three versions:

Hmm...there is only one option for now - shaking the air! Lots of words and pictures.

The ongoing discussion about the SU-75 for our aerospace forces is not entirely clear. In the article, it is written in black and white: "The Russian promising single-engine fighter Su-75 Checkmate is considered by our designers as a platform for creating a new combat aircraft according to order from the Middle East countries"Therefore, it is not a fact that this aircraft will be adopted by us. In recent years, the BV countries have been trying to develop high-tech production, and perhaps the production of the SU-75 will be localized there.

[Rhino]

So Sergey, you yourself answered your own question - the Su-75 Checkmate is considered by our designers as a “platform for creating a new combat aircraft” - a new aircraft created on the Su-75 platform for the Middle East and the Su-75 for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
