PJSC "United Aircraft Corporation" on December 28, 2022 reported that the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri Gagarin PJSC "United Aircraft Corporation" (PJSC "UAC", part of Rostec State Corporation) manufactured and handed over to the Ministry of Defense of Russia the next batch of serial fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft as part of the supply program of the current year.

The expansion of production capacities continues, new high-tech equipment is being put into operation, and production personnel are being additionally attracted. A modern production line for final assembly is working," said Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
"A new batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters has been delivered under a large contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. This aircraft is the future of Russian combat aviation, it embodies advanced technologies and design solutions. It has super maneuverability, is barely noticeable, can destroy air and ground targets, detect the enemy at long distances, and operate in a network-centric war. Composite materials are widely used in its airframe, the aircraft is equipped with the latest on-board equipment. Now a large-scale modernization project is being implemented at the Gagarin KnAAZ in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, which will significantly increase the production of these combat vehicles," said Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov.
"Our aircraft factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has completed this year's program for the production of fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft complexes and Su-35S multi-purpose fighters for the Russian Aerospace Forces. We will continue to fulfill our obligations. The planes scheduled for delivery next year are already in production," said Yuri Slyusar, General Director of PJSC UAC.
On the part of bmpd, we point out that, as reported by spotters, on December 28, 2022, four new fifth-generation Su-57 fighters received by the Russian Aerospace Forces made an intermediate landing at Novosibirsk Tolmachevo airport while driving to their bases in the European part of Russia from Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Thus, the Russian Aerospace Forces received four more built in 2022 at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ) PJSC "United Aircraft Corporation" serial fifth-generation fighter Su-57, in addition to the two transferred in May 2022. On all known video and photographic materials, the flight numbers and registration numbers of the fighters transferred in December are retouched. The two Su-57 fighters transferred in May had red tail numbers "53" (registration number RF-81777) and "54" (registration number RF-81778).
It is noteworthy that the four Su-57s now transferred for the first time from serial aircraft of this type have external suspensions with ejection devices for weapons.
Thus, in total, to date, the Russian Aerospace Forces have apparently received ten serial Su-57 fighters:
The tail number "01" is the first serial Su-57 fighter (T-50S-2 aircraft, serial number 51002) produced by KnAAZ, actually received on January 29, 2021 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Initially, it had the tail number "01 blue".
Tail number "02 red" - built in 2021, spotted in Tolmachevo during the stage on February 3, 2022, while carrying on board the emblem of the 929th State Flight Test Center named after V.P. Chkalov of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Akhtubinsk (Astrakhan region). Presumably, it originally had the tail number "02 blue" (T-50S-3, serial number 52201).
Tail number "52 red" (registration number RF-81775) - built in 2021, spotted in Tolmachevo during the stage on February 3, 2022.
Side numbers "53 red" (registration number RF-81777) and "54 red" (registration number RF-81778) - built in 2022, seen in Tolmachevo during the stage on May 25-26, 2022.
The tail number "52 blue" is the aircraft demonstrated in the KnAAZ presentation video at the beginning of 2022. Apparently, the board was built in 2021, but so far it has not been registered in Tolmachevo during the stage.
The four Su-57 fighters built in 2022 that have now been transferred, the on-board and registration numbers have been retouched.
Recall that in August 2018, at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2018", the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and PJSC "Sukhoi Company" (as part of the UAC) signed a contract for the supply to the Armed Forces of the first two serial fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 (in the guise of T-50S - T-board50S-1 and T-50S-2) with engines of the "first stage" ("product 117"). The terms of the contract were 2018-2020, with the delivery of one aircraft in 2019 and 2020. In June 2019, at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2019", the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and PJSC "Sukhoi Company" signed a contract for the supply to the Armed Forces of a total of 76 serial fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 (including the first two aircraft contracted in 2018), with a contract term for The year is 2027.
The first serial Su-57 aircraft (T-50S-1 aircraft, serial number 51001, tail number "01 blue"), built at KnAAZ, made its first flight in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in early December 2019 and was scheduled to be transferred to the Ministry of Defense on December 27, but on December 24, 2019 at the final the factory test stage crashed as a result of an accident, due, presumably, to a malfunction in the aircraft control system.
Flight tests of the second of the two serial samples of the Su-57 fighter contracted in 2018 (T-50S-2 aircraft, serial number 51002) were started in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in October 2020, it also received the original tail number "01 blue", and was commissioned in December 2020, but Only on January 29, 2021, it was officially transferred to the Ministry of Defense. The aircraft is part of the 929th State Flight Test Center named after V.P. Chkalov of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Akhtubinsk.
In 2021, under the 2019 contract, KnAAZ apparently built the next three serial Su-57 fighters, and in 2022 - six more.
