Russia’s Rostech eyes to start Checkmate fighter aircraft production in 2027

    REGION  19 May 2022 - 07:20

    Russia’s Rostech CEO, Sergei Chemezov, has said that mass production of the Russian Checkmate fighter aircraft is scheduled for 2027.

    “The first aircraft will be produced by late 2023 - early 2024. The aircraft is being produced at Rostech's own funds, without attracting budgetary funds,” Chemezov said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, RIA Novosti reports.

    The Checkmate fighter aircraft was presented on the opening day of the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon.

    This is Russia's first fifth-generation lightweight multirole fighter with one engine. Its first flight is scheduled for 2023. The cost of the newest aircraft was estimated at $25-30 million.
