"Su-57 at minimum salaries": Military Watch spoke about the future competitor of the F-35 from Russia

19

The Russians are working on a new generation single-engine fighter that will compete with the F-35, writes the American Military Watch.

A new class of aircraft is being developed. They will complement the heavy Su-57 and the future high-altitude interceptor MiG-41. In fact, it will be "Su-57 at minimum wages", i.e. option in the "light version". It will have one “Product 30” aircraft engine - a fifth or even sixth generation power unit. The Russians claim that it will be significantly more powerful than the American F135, installed on the "invisible" F-35. "Product 30" is just one of the developments designed to accelerate the transition of the Su-57 to the level of sixth generation aviation.



The new aircraft is likely to be the first single-engine fighter produced by Russia after the USSR stopped producing the third generation MiG-21BiS, MiG-23 and MiG-27 aircraft in the 1980s. If it is confirmed that the Su-57 and its new lightweight counterpart will use the Product 30, this will allow for large-scale and more profitable production of these aircraft engines. Using sensors of the same type, of technologies and systems on two aircraft will also help reduce development costs and reduce the cost of final products.

The Su-57 can carry 10 air-to-air missiles in its internal compartments, and its future lightweight counterpart is likely to be limited to six or fewer missiles. But the single-engine fighter will replace obsolete heavy aircraft such as the Su-27 and Su-30. It will have much lower operating costs and maintenance requirements. At the same time, it will significantly surpass them in many of its capabilities.

The head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, said that such an aircraft has significant export potential. He confirmed the development of the new fighter, specifying that "the company is working on the concept and operational requirements for such a platform on its own initiative, without the involvement of federal funds."

Russia will be able to get a single-engine fighter. It will become the world's first sixth generation aircraft of its kind. Perhaps in cheaper export options, its category will be downgraded to the fifth generation. If Rostec invests its own money, then it clearly sees the future and is confident in success. All countries that operate MiG and Sukhoi products can be safely listed among potential customers.

      Considering how many years the 57th was built, and with what groaning and squelching the pubs30 is born, you understand that it will not become a competitor to the 35th - it will grow old and crumble to dust.

        There is no need to write these ridiculous nonsense here, how many the Americans are already sawing, and so far without much success, their Fu-35, and how much they saw Raptors before, especially since the development of a light fighter with one engine will take much less time than his it took for the Su-57 !!!

          Of course, nonsense.
          Of course, the Americans are sawing. I do not argue.
          Only, from under their saw, half a thousand raw penguins came out, and from under Rostekhov, only sawdust. Well, and the oil is much ... for the sawmill operator .. winked .

      Maybe a moment-35 in series? It's faster this way.

      Everything in the future tense - Russia does not have a fifth generation fighter, and God only knows when it will appear as a real combat vehicle, and craftsmen from Rostec are already telling tales about the upcoming sixth generation fighter. lol

        Let's wait two weeks, I hope the first 1-2 serials will appear. By the way, when will you have your own? smile And then what is the "non-brothers" remind, they also like to compare with foreign countries, modestly silent about themselves.
        Slowly and squeakily, maybe, but the aerospace business moves with the relentlessness of a steamroller. Yesterday the Angara flew, today, for example, the PD-14 was tested in the air. Surely you will be glad for the Russian aircraft manufacturers laughing

          And we have our own - the F-35 was created and is being improved with the active participation of the Israelis. Don't you know?

            So you have one for all? American-Japanese-Israeli-Polish-Italian-English-Norwegian-Australo-Turkish?
            What a friendly family good True, even the Russian-language Wikipedia is modestly silent about your participation in the project and only indicates as operators, but this is probably the intrigues of ill-wishers. I suppose we can just as well talk about our Boeing laughing As far as I remember, Russian participation was not limited to titanium parts. hi

              You hit the sky with your finger, my young friend. love Indeed, in our time, such large projects are created in cooperation by scientists and engineers from different countries who want to have a modern fighter in their arsenal. And Wikipedia does not always provide comprehensive information, alas ...
              It is international cooperation, together with production capabilities, that provides the collective West with a technological and quality advantage over the Russian or Chinese military-industrial complex.

                As far as I understand, several countries "try to create" such projects, Russia, China, Japan and one of the Koreas laughing and so on little things a circle of young technicians ... And somehow they basically do without cooperation, at least the first two countries. If you remove the United States from your cooperation, then the rest of the cooperative can begin to make Christmas tree decorations, this is what their competence on this topic will be enough for. It is probably more applicable for them to consider themselves partners, but rather it is a buyers' club. They are kept in this "stall" so that they would buy it all. The illusion of "equal" participation in the project only flatters the pride and makes it easier to spend "hard-earned money", because they buy not from someone else's uncle, but from their beloved winked

                And Wikipedia does not always provide comprehensive information, alas ...

                It was a cunning plan to extract classified information .. bully The calculation was that you could not resist, start to brag, put everything out ... But apparently it did not work ... request We'll have to come up with a more complicated combination. what It's a pity, everything was thought out down to the smallest details ... and a political asylum and a house in a picturesque corner near Vorkuta. winked

                It is international cooperation, together with production capabilities, that provides the collective West with a technological and quality advantage over the Russian or Chinese military-industrial complex.

                Of course of course Yes Well done, you firmly remember all the propaganda cliches good
                Can you tell me when the "Progressive Dominator" cooperative will master hypersound?

                psAbout the house in the village, think about it ... If Vorkuta does not suit you, there is an option with Birobidzhan. good The homeland is ready to embrace you drinks

                  That is why the successes of Russia and China in this industry are more than modest. lol

                  Competence is above the roof, but manufacturing capacity in the United States is much more significant.

                    It must be like this fool The first regiment with "Avangard" has already taken up combat duty near Orenburg, Migi with "Daggers" have been patrolling the South-West strategic direction for a long time, and will soon cover the Northern Sea Route, tests of the "Zircon" are underway, all its launches from our frigates have been recognized successful, which means that in the near future they will arm other ships and submarines, so throw your outdated training manual down the toilet and do not disgrace

                        If you want to believe, but if you want to check, you can close your eyes, stand in a corner and shout "I don't believe !!!" Only this will not change reality, your overlord has no protection against these missiles, strategic, sea and air-based, but I understand you, all that remains for you, in view of your lag, is to deny it laughing

      During the battles in Africa, the MiG-29 lost to the clean Su-27. It is foolish to spend money on second-rate aircraft, the combat value of which is highly questionable. It is necessary to save on the Chubais, not on the army!

      will "compete" with the 7th generation F, most likely ...
