VLADIVOSTOK, September 3. /TASS/. Applications for the purchase of the Russian Checkmate light tactical fighter from foreign countries have not yet been received, Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), told reporters on Friday on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (WEF).

Earlier, the general director of the Rostec state Corporation, Sergey Chemezov, reported that Checkmate, first presented at the MAKS-2021 international Air show, is in demand on the global arms market. "There is no need to look for a geopolitical aspect in our new light tactical aircraft. The real reason is much simpler - cars of this class are really in high demand on the world market of military equipment, " he said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. According to him, Checkmate will be a "really working solution" for countries that cannot purchase the F-35 Lightning II fighter for $120 million. According to Rostec, the cost of the new Russian aircraft will be about $30 million.

The Checkmate fighter is made using stealth technologies, equipped with an internal fuselage compartment for air - to - air and air-to-surface aircraft weapons. The payload mass will exceed seven tons. The fighter will be able to simultaneously hit up to six targets. The car will be equipped with a highly efficient power plant.
