"The best plane on the planet": Russian Su-75 "Checkmate" can change the Indian tender

July 30 2021 30

At the recent MAKS-2021 in Zhukovsky near Moscow, the Russian Su-75 Checkmate stealth fighter made a splash. China, Vietnam and India have already become potential buyers of the aircraft, and the latter, taking into account the possible purchase of the Su-75, may change its MMRCA tender for the purchase of 126 fighters.

An important competitive advantage of the Russian aircraft is its price of $ 25-30 million, which is cheaper than the Swedish Saab Gripen (about $ 85 million), the American F-35 and the French Dassault Rafale ($ 115 million each).

Checkmate made a special impression on the experts in India, whose air force is mostly composed of Russian aircraft. According to a senior researcher at the Institute for Peace and Conflict Research (IPCS) in New Delhi, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, India may conclude a contract for the purchase of the Su-75.

Now that Russia has a single-engine fighter, they can take part in the competition and, in my personal opinion, they have a very good chance of winning an Indian contract.

- said the analyst in an interview with the EurAsian Times.

At the same time, Iyer-Mitra believes that the Su-75 "Checkmate" is the most acceptable option for New Delhi in the face of the growing threat from Beijing. Aircraft capable of competing with the Russian fighter jet are too expensive. In addition, the Americans will not sell their F-35s to a country that is armed with Russian S-400 systems. In comparison with the Chinese J-20 and FC-31 "Checkmate" wins in terms of aerodynamics, invisibility for radars and infrared stealth.

Russian fighter jet is the best plane on the planet

- believes Iyer-Mitra.

Thus, according to the Indian expert, if the high quality of the Su-75 is confirmed in practice, Russia will achieve serious success.

China, Vietnam and India have already become potential buyers of the aircraft, and the latter, taking into account the possible purchase of the Su-75, may change its MMRCA tender for the purchase of 126 fighters.

A potential buyer is when the military attachés of these countries declare their intention to buy these aircraft. Have you already had such statements?

Checkmate made a special impression on the experts in India, whose air force is mostly composed of Russian aircraft. According to a senior researcher at the Institute for Peace and Conflict Research (IPCS) in New Delhi, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, India may conclude a contract for the purchase of the Su-75.

The Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS), was founded in 1996 as an independent think tank to develop an alternative framework for peace and security in South Asia through independent research and analysis

In other words, while it is just speculative assumptions.

Russian fighter jet is the best plane on the planet

So far, this is a model that has no analogues in the world.

  this is not a mock-up, Slyusar said that this particular sample will take off in 23, it consists of the tested su57 kits (wings, keels, canopy, cockpit, compartments, engine, airborne radar, etc.), now ground tests of other samples are underway. yes, it is not completely ready, the bottom of the airframe near the engine may even have been temporarily closed with tin (small concavities are visible in the photo), but in general the airframe is already sheathed with composite and fixed with screws (smeared over). landing gear struts are working, you can even see it stuck)) in general, su75 is inferior to f22 only in the number of missiles (there will be supersonic without afterburner) - 5 pcs (medium missiles), but I think you can still install fast compartments (close missiles) under the wings like on su57 , and then we will get a mini f22 with 7 missiles and with an AFAR su57, and for only 30-50 million, there will be a queue for such a fighter, there will be more than a thousand sales, because the su75 will also be offered as a supersonic UAV (fighter, reconnaissance, RB director, tanker)

In my opinion, a somewhat overly enthusiastic assessment. There really is a prospect, especially if the Chinese buy to see how it works .... The Indians will definitely take it, because they understand that soon they will have their own analogue and in not small quantities.
But I doubt about the tender. They need fighters now. Serial production is planned from 2026. And the sample will go to static tests, apparently not directly this one is already being created for them. But this is rather a sample, not a layout, which, as a rule, lacks the functionality of the represented object.

This is a sample, this is not just a mock-up, not just a demonstrator. Here he will rise into the air.

And the Aglo-Saxon lackeys call him a model (well, not a cartoon) Well, okay, you can understand them (but not forgive), the substance flows down from the fan onto them, obscures the eyes. Corrects evil spirits to the gnashing of the teeth

  The layout can be partially functional completely:

  A little clarification - will it take to the air in 2023? That is, at least another year and a half to fine-tune the functionality? And this is at the "sample"?

    It is customary to conduct static tests before flight. Is this news to you?

      He will become a full-fledged model when he can rise into the air. Before that, at least another 1,5 years of fine-tuning.

        So if you were to carry you on it, you might not have to test it at all (s), and so it is necessary, and on an airplane, how are you going to carry out such tests on a mock-up (s)?

        Do the Americans have a full-fledged model of a hypersonic missile? After all, they lifted him into the air really dropped
        It's boring, you start to come up with some criteria, they say, the sample is when it rises into the air.

        The video shows a test of the wing box, not a full-fledged aircraft. And yes, these tests can be carried out on a mock-up :)
        
        Do the Americans have a full-fledged model of a hypersonic missile? He was lifted into the air, fellow really dropped request
        
        Yes, this is exactly a sample for flight tests, as it was equipped with everything necessary for the flight.
        
        But in 2020, they tested a MODEL of this rocket, suspended under the wing of the Stratokrepost.
        
        It's boring, you start to come up with some criteria, they say, the sample is when it rises into the air.
        
        The prototype must correspond to the functionality of the final product. If the plane cannot fly yet (that is, perform one of the main functions), then this is exactly the model. As a last resort, a prototype.

In general, an interesting alignment, why the Indians today do not buy 150 pieces at the named performance characteristics and the announced price. And the Chinese could have staked out 200 pieces on paper. It could be a very good deal.

  The minus is unfounded, the loot would have gone unambiguously to the developers only for the benefit. The Americans sold their "Letak" in such a way en masse. One hitch with money, unless, of course, respected people will bring this loot to the developers, this is probably one of the most difficult elements of the transaction.
