Zhukovsky. July 21. INTERFAX-Russia is conducting preliminary negotiations on the export of the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter, said Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Customs Service of Russia, answering a question from Interfax.

"The partners are interested in this car. We are conducting preliminary negotiations with some of them," Shugaev said at the MAKS - 2021 air show.

"Countries that are creditworthy can afford such high-tech equipment with very high characteristics. A car of this class cannot be cheap. At the same time, we understand that it should be competitive in price," he said.

Shugaev said that the Su-57 will be delivered to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as a priority.

Earlier on Tuesday, the head of Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev, told reporters that five countries had shown interest in buying the Su-57.

"We expect that there will be a significant demand for this aircraft in the coming years, five countries have already announced today, we are holding consultations," Mikheev said.

The Su-57 was developed by Sukhoi (part of the UAC) and is manufactured at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant (KnAAZ). This is a multi-purpose fighter of the fifth generation, designed to destroy all types of air targets in long-range and short-range battles, defeat ground and surface enemy targets with overcoming air defense systems. Its first flight took place on January 29, 2010.

At the end of 2020, the Russian Armed Forces received the first serial Su-57. In total, by 2028, the Russian military should receive 76 Su-57 fighters and re-equip three aviation regiments with them.

Earlier it was reported that the first Su-57 will be produced in serial form, but with engines of the previous generation. The engine of the "second stage" (product 30 produced by the United Engine Corporation, UEC), which will provide the Su-57 with supersonic cruising speed, began flight tests in December 2017.

According to the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, "somewhere in 2022, the engines will already be ready, "put on the wing", and within a few years we will launch their mass production."
