A large-scale presentation of a light tactical aircraft took place at MAKS-2021
On July 20, the United Aircraft Corporation of the State Corporation #Rostec held a large-scale presentation of the Checkmate fifth-generation light single-engine multi-role fighter of the fifth generation at the MAKS-2021 site. The aircraft presented to journalists, created by the Sukhoi Company in the shortest possible time, incorporated proven technical solutions and innovative developments. This will provide outstanding flight performance, high combat effectiveness and moderate cost. The new product is expected to have great success in foreign markets.
The first flight of the aircraft should take place in 2023, deliveries should begin in 2026-2027. The cost of the aircraft is projected in the range of $ 25 to $ 30 million.
This fighter is an initiative development from the Sukhoi Design Bureau. At the same time, it is planned that it will become "modular", that is, the complete set will be determined by the customer. At the same time, the OKB is ready to discuss deliveries both with foreign customers and with their native MO. Brief characteristics were also presented:
- payload in the region of 7 tons.
-combat radius of 1500 km.
- takeoff / run length 400 m.
-arming various missiles and corrected ammunition.
The Checkmate is equipped with an engine with a deflected thrust vector, is capable of operating at supersonic speeds for a long time, and has a shortened takeoff and landing.
