First batch of serial Su-57 fighter jet delivered to regiment in Southern Military District

The first batch-produced multi-role fifth-generation fighter jet Su-57 has been delivered to a regiment in the Southern Military District, a source in the defense-industrial complex told TASS on Friday.

"The Aerospace Force has obtained the first batch-produced Su-57 plane. It was delivered to a regiment in the Southern Military district," the source said, adding that another four such jets would be provided for the Aerospace Force in 2021.

On December 7, the CEO of the corporation Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, said that the first serially manufactured Su-57 with a first stage engine would be provided for the Russian military by the end of 2020, and the first Su-57 equipped with the second stage engine would be assembled in 2022. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told the Defense Ministry’s board meeting that a total of 22 Su-57 planes would be provided by the end of 2024. Under a contract concluded in 2019 a total of 76 Su-57s are to be delivered by the end of 2028.
