The latest products of the Russian defense industry regularly enter service with the Russian Armed Forces and are in demand on the global market. This also applies to Russia's first fifth-generation single-engine fighter, the Su-75 Checkmate.
Dmitry Kornev, a columnist for the Izvestia newspaper, mentions this technique in his article.
A media representative calls the date of the first test flight of the Su-75 Checkmate fighter. He reports that such tests are planned for this year. The equipment is ready for them.
The journalist highly appreciated the newest aircraft:
In the Russian Air Force, this fighter will replace the MiG-29. It also has a high export potential. Such an aircraft is a serious competitor to any foreign Class 4++ fighters, upgraded F-16 and other military aircraft of a potential enemy.
The journalist noted that this is the first single-engine combat aircraft in modern Russia.

In addition, he announced other plans for the Russian defense industry. In particular, sea trials of the Khabarovsk nuclear submarine, which is a potential carrier of the uninhabited Poseidon underwater vehicles, are planned this year.
Earlier, a number of reputable Western publications wrote about the likely start of flight tests of the Su-75 this year. In particular, this assumption was made last month by Brandon Weichert, a columnist for the American magazine The National Interest.
