Sukhoi noted that most foreign combat aircraft are created in cooperation, which significantly restricts their export

MOSCOW, November 12. /tass/. The use of only domestic components is provided for when creating a fifth-generation Checkmate single-engine fighter. This was reported to TASS in the Sukhoi company (part of the United Aircraft Corporation of the Rostec State Corporation) as part of the special project "Su-Checkmate Fighter. The dark horse of aviation of the future."

"Another advantage of Checkmate is the use of only Russian-made components in its design, while most foreign combat aircraft are created in cooperation, which significantly limits their export," the company said.

Thus, there are cases of blocking the supply of Gripen fighters by the US Congress in connection with the ban on the export of a number of American-made components integrated into the fighter.

For the first time, the Checkmate light tactical aircraft was presented at the MAKS-2021 air Show. The foreign presentation of the fighter will take place at the Dubai Airshow 2021 International Airshow, which will be held from November 14 to 18 in the United Arab Emirates.

Checkmate includes all the most advanced developments, including an open architecture for building in the interests of the customer and unique artificial intelligence technologies. The aircraft 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 can simultaneously hit up to six targets. The speed of a single-engine aircraft will be Mach 1.8, and the combat radius will be 3 thousand km. It is expected that the aircraft will make its first flight in 2023.

In addition to the home market, Checkmate will primarily focus on African countries, India, and Vietnam. The car will most likely receive the Su-75 index and will be assembled at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant. It is planned that it will compete with the American F-35A Lightning II fighter and the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen.
