The Russian Ministry of Defense sent several Su-57 fifth-generation fighters to the airbase Khemeymim in Syria in order to test them in conditions close to the combat ones. This is written by Kommersant, citing its sources.
In Syria, the Su-57 approves the systems of electronic warfare (EW) and radar, writes Kommersant.
A full-fledged combat use is not yet planned.
Sources say that testing fighter aircraft in combat conditions is necessary to demonstrate the capabilities of the Russian Military-Industial Complex, as well as create a positive impression of the actions of Russian military in Syria.
According to unofficial information, four fifth-generation fighter planes were sent to Syria.
