The Russian Armed Forces will receive 94 aircraft and helicopters before 2025 ahead of schedule, including 22 Su-57 fifth-generation fighters, Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the ministry’s enlarged board meeting on Monday. This reported by TASS.

"With regard to aircraft, the early deliveries of 94 planes and helicopters are envisaged by the end of 2024, including 22 Su-57 fighters, whose number will grow to 76 by 2028," the defense minister pointed out.

Head of the state tech corporation Rostec Sergei Chemezov announced on December 7 that the first serial-produced Su-57 fighter with the first-stage engine would arrive for Russia’s Aerospace Force by late 2020 while the first Su-57s with the advanced second-stage engine would be assembled in 2022.
