Russian state-run space corporation Rostec has already discussed the possible deliveries of Russia’s prospective Checkmate single-engine fighter jet with foreign customers, Rostec chief Sergei Chemezov told TASS in the run-up to the Dubai Airshow 2021 international exhibition.

"There were talks with foreign delegations, and we are now forming proposals about the plane’s layout. Some foreign customers want an aircraft that would be adjusted for their needs, including the geography of its use, available financing and some other factors," he said.

According to Chemezov, Checkmate will have an open architecture configuration and can therefore be customized to meet every customer’s needs in the best possible way.
