Russia to Create New Fifth Generation Fighter Jet

Preparatory work has begun in Russia for the production of the first samples of the fifth generation Checkmate fighter jets. This was reported by the Rostec state corporation ahead of the Dubai Airshow 2023.

A representative of the agency clarified that the project was introduced in 2021, but changes have been made based on the work carried out, delaying the dates for the first flight. As a result, it has been possible to refine the project’s costs and the individual technical solutions of the fighter jet. Currently, the design documents have already been transferred to the manufacturer.
