The state defense order for the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet increased by a factor of two in 2023, CEO of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Yury Slyusar said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV Channel.
"We have completed the state defense order. Everything stipulated by signed contracts and time schedules was delivered in time, even in advance for certain plants," the chief executive said.
"Concerning new airplanes, the order for the Su-57 aircraft has increased almost twofold," Slyusar noted.
"The order is even greater and even more work will have to be done in 2024," he added.
