Russia won’t send its fifth-generation Su-57 Fighter Jet to Aero India-2021, but will showcase its model, a defense industry source told Sputnik. Earlier within the week, media reported that the Su-57 would participate within the airshow within the southern Indian city of Bengaluru in its introduction at a far off exhibition.
“This information requires clarification. Like in the least recent international airshows, Rosoboronexport and [Russian aerospace giant] the United Aircraft Corporation will definitely demonstrate Su-57 models in Bengaluru, potential customers are going to be ready to get acquainted with presentations about the new machine, but this is often not about the participation of the machine itself,’” the source said.
The Sukhoi Su-57 may be a cutting-edge Russian jet that performs the functions of a strike aircraft and a fighter, and is capable of destroying all kinds of air, ground and naval surface targets. The jet administered its maiden flight in 2010.
