Russia's second mass-produced fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet will be put into service in the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2020, Alexander Pekarsh, the director of Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant, manufacturing the aircraft, said. This reported by Sputnik.
"We are working on two aircraft under the contract with the Defense Ministry, with the deadline for the delivery of the first aircraft set for 2019, and for the second aircraft for 2020", the director told reporters.
Su-57 is a stealth air superiority fighter developed by Russia's Sukhoi Company. The fifth-generation fighter jet, formerly known as Prospective Airborne Complex of Frontline Aviation (PAK FA), is a single-seat, twin-engine multirole "stealth" aircraft designed for air superiority and attack roles. It is equipped with an advanced avionics system and airborne active phased array radar as well as with a variety of high-precision weaponry.
According to Russia's Tactical Missiles Corporation (KTRV), Su-57 fighter jets could also be equipped with hypersonic missiles in the 2020s.
