Russia's advanced Su-57 fifth-generation fighters will be shown to foreign delegations for the first time at the MAKS-2019 air show, Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport told reporters. This reported by Sputnik.
"The advanced Su-57 fifth-generation fighter will be shown to Air Force delegations and all guests of the MAKS International Aviation and Space Salon in Zhukovsky, Moscow region, from 27 August to 1 September", it said.
The statement comes after a source in the aviation industry told Sputnik in March that Russian Su-57 fighter jet already has an export permit, and the Russian government is reviewing documents to officially rename the aircraft from T-50 internal designation to Su-57.
In 2017, a pair of Su-57 fighters for the first time demonstrated elements of air combat at the MAKS air show. One of the aircraft conducted an attack, and the second went away from it, showing how super-maneuverability works, which allows the aircraft to "dodge" the enemy. Pilots also demonstrated aerobatics, including the Pugachev Cobra, flying at extreme angles of attack and driving at minimum speed.
