TYUMEN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th September, 2021) The serial production of Russia's Su-75 Checkmate fighter jet may be started in 2025-2026, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said at the Oil and Gas Forum in the western Siberian city of Tyumen.
"As far as I remember, flight tests will start in 2023, the serial production in case of demand - hopefully, there will be demand because this plane has a number of features of a fifth-generation jet ... - will start in 2025-2026, I think this is a realistic timeframe," Borisov said.
From his point of view, in case of a serious delay in the launch of the serial production the Checkmate fighter will not be in demand on the markets where US and Chinese planes are represented.
