“Systemic decisions taken at the state level to support the modernization of the enterprise made it possible to launch mass production of fifth-generation aircraft in a timely manner. The expansion of production capacities continues, new high-tech equipment is put into operation, additional production personnel are involved. A modern production line for final assembly is in operation,” said Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
“A new batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters has been delivered under a large contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. This aircraft is the future of Russian combat aviation, it embodies advanced technologies and design solutions. It has super-maneuverability, is hardly noticeable, can destroy air and ground targets, detect the enemy at long distances, and operate in a network-centric war. Composite materials are widely used in its airframe, the aircraft is equipped with the latest on-board equipment. Now at KnAAZ them. Yu.A. Gagarin in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a large-scale modernization project is being implemented, which will significantly increase the production of these combat vehicles, ”said Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec.
“Our aircraft plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has completed the current year’s program for the production of fifth-generation Su-57 aviation systems and Su-35S multirole fighters for the Russian Aerospace Forces. We will continue to fulfill our obligations. The aircraft scheduled for delivery next year are already in production,” said Yury Slyusar, Director General of PJSC UAC.
On the part of bmpd, we point out that, as spotters
reported , on December 28, 2022, four new fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jets received by the Russian Aerospace Forces made an intermediate landing at Novosibirsk Tolmachevo airport while transferring to their bases in the European part of Russia from Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Thus, the Russian Aerospace Forces received four more Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ) PJSC "United Aircraft Corporation" serial fifth-generation fighter Su-57, in addition to two
transferred in May 2022. On all known video and photographic materials, the side numbers and registration of the four fighters transmitted in December are retouched. The two Su-57 fighters handed over in May had red tail numbers "53" (registration number RF-81777) and "54" (registration number RF-81778).
It is noteworthy that the four Su-57s now transferred for the first time from the production aircraft of this type have external suspension with ejection devices for weapons.
Thus, in total, by now, the Russian Aerospace Forces, apparently, have received ten serial Su-57 fighters:
Tail number "01" is the first serial Su-57 fighter actually
received on January 29, 2021 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (T-50S-2 serial number 51002) manufactured by KnAAZ. Initially had tail number "01 blue".
Board number "02 red" - built in 2021,
seen in Tolmachevo during the transfer on February 3, 2022, while carrying the emblem of the 929th State Flight Test Center named after V.P. Chkalov of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Akhtubinsk (Astrakhanskaya region). Presumably, it originally had tail number "02 blue" (T-50S-3, serial number 52201).
Tail number "52 red" (registration number RF-81775) - built in 2021,
spotted in Tolmachevo during the ferry on February 3, 2022.
Board numbers "53 red" (registration number RF-81777) and "54 red" (registration number RF-81778) - built in 2022,
seen in Tolmachevo during the ferry on May 25-26, 2022.
Tail number "52 blue" - the aircraft demonstrated in the KnAAZ presentation video at the beginning of 2022. Apparently, the board was built in 2021, but so far it has not been noted in Tolmachevo during the ferry.
Four Su-57 fighters, built in 2022, have now been handed over, side and registration numbers have been retouched.
Recall that in August 2018, at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2018", the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and PJSC "Company" Sukhoi "(as part of the UAC) signed
a contract for the supply of the first two serial fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 to the Armed Forces (in the guise of T-50S - sides of T-50S-1 and T-50S-2) with engines of the "first stage" ("product 117"). The terms of the contract were 2018-2020, with delivery of one aircraft in 2019 and 2020. In June 2019, at the Army-2019 International Military-Technical Forum, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Sukhoi Company PJSC signed
a contract for the supply to the Armed Forces of a total of 76 serial fifth-generation Su-57 fighters (including the first two aircraft contracted in 2018), with a contract term of 2027.
The first serial Su-57 aircraft (T-50S-1 aircraft, serial number 51001, tail number "01 blue"), built at KnAAZ, made its first flight in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in early December 2019 and was planned to be transferred to the Ministry of Defense On December 27, but on December 24, 2019, at the final stage of factory testing , it
crashed as a result of an accident, due, presumably, to a failure in the aircraft control system.
Flight tests of the second of two production models of the Su-57 fighter (T-50S-2 aircraft, serial number 51002) contracted in 2018 have
begun in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in October 2020, it also initially received tail number "01 blue", and was commissioned in December 2020, but only on January 29, 2021 was it officially
transferred to the Ministry of Defense. The aircraft is part of the 929th State Flight Test Center named after V.P. Chkalov of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Akhtubinsk.
In 2021, KnAAZ apparently built the next three production Su-57 fighters under a 2019 contract, and six more in 2022.
