"All work is being done urgently. KTRV companies are developing the entire precision weapon system for installation in the fuselage and external pylons of the aircraft. We have moved to the stage of practical flights and I believe there will be good results in the near future," Mr. Obnosov emphasized.
In early December 2017, the Su-57 fighter completed its first test flight with the new generation Saturn Izdeliye 30 engine, which is said to significantly increase thrust and fuel efficiency as well as improve the aircraft's stealth capabilities thanks to the use of high-tech composite materials.
The Su-57, originally codenamed PAK-FA, was developed by the Sukhoi corporation since 2002. The Su-57 is coated with special materials that help absorb and scatter radar waves, as well as an optimal shape for stealth against enemy electronic reconnaissance equipment.
The aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art control systems, capable of being operated by a real pilot. This fighter can carry a variety of modern weapons, suitable for anti-air, anti-ground and anti-ship missions.
