According to Yuri Kondratyev, the director of the KOMSOMOLSK-OMUR Aircraft Production Association (KNAAPO), the Russian Aerospace Unit (VKS RF) will receive an upgrade version of the 5th generation stealth fighter from 2025. It is set.
In an excerpt from an interview released on the Telegram channel, KONDRATYEV has outlined the KNAAPO priority.
He confirmed that the production of SU-57 is increasing, indicating that the importance of aircraft in Russian military strategies is growing.
“SU-57 has a greater possibility than the fourth generation,” says Kondratyev. “From 2025, we will begin to provide new versions of SU-57 to the Russian Aerospace Corps.”
He did not explain in detail about specific upgrades, suggesting that a new repeat may have an advanced product 30 or AL-51F1 engine.
The SU-57 is designed to compete with NATO fifth fighters such as US F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, and is state-of-the-art stelstech, super money, and advanced avionics. I am proud. With these enhancements, Russia aims to compete with the west in air combat.
In an interview, Condoratiev also quoted Pavel Ospovic Sukoy, a foresight, with a foresight that established the Squoy Design Bureau.
Sukhoi’s advanced philosophy, which emphasizes the continuous progress of aviation, was emphasized by KONDRATYEV. “
KONDRATYEV further emphasizes the importance of innovation in competing in the Russian aerospace industry.
“Today, we must plan and set tasks for the future,” he said and acknowledged the risk of stagnation. He warned that if the development of the new product line failed, it could lead to a loss of competitiveness even after securing a preferred contract.
In addition to the SU-57, Russia’s SU-35 is a fourth-generation fourth-generation air-dominant fighter and will be upgraded in 2025. The details of these upgrades remain private, but are expected to strengthen the aircraft’s fighting abilities.
“From 2025, we will begin to provide SU-35 with a new technical composition while the already used aircraft is upgraded,” he said.
Russian checkmate fighter
As Russia strengthens the production of SU-57 and SU-35 fighters, efforts to develop T-75, which are generally known as SU-75, are underway.
KONDRATYEV emphasized that checkmate projects are an important focus and express important steps in national aeronautical development strategies.
Currently, production is full -fledged, and the main purpose is to build two prototypes. Static test model and flight compatible version.
When asked about the possibility of setting another assembly line for the checkmate, Condolatiev has continued the production of the SU-35 and SU-57 for many years, and the range of military aircraft repair has been expanded and added. While the creation of the facilities is expanding, if the T-75 mass production is proved to be executed for serial production, it will start.
This update on checkmates emphasizes Russian commitments that lead the aircraft from concepts to reality. Last year, the authorities stated that the SU-75 checkmates were in a advanced stage of development.

The SU-75 checkmate is a five-generation, light tactical, single-engine stealth aircraft designed by PJSC Sukhoi Company, part of Rostec’s United AirCraft Corporation (UAC). It was first released on MAKS-2021 Air Show held in Russia and made an international debut at the Dubai Air Show 2021.
Like the SU-57, checkmates encountered various obstacles that hindered their progress. The design stage was started in early 2020, but aircraft faced multiple delays due to various issues, such as the invasion of Ukraine, lack of external investment, and international sanctions imposed after the confirmed buyer. I am doing it.
Furthermore, the progress of the progress has forced Russia to redirect resources for more imminent military needs, and the development of advanced platforms like SU-75 has been slower.
Despite the regular guarantee of Russian officials, the project is planned as planned, the skepticism remains high. Many analysts are wondering if the country can comply with the first prototype flight timeline.
