The words of the Russian president raise a lot of questions from military experts regarding the purchase of only 76 combat vehicles.

“76 Su-57 fighters in service with Russia will not even be able to fully recoup the funds allocated for the development of this combat aircraft, not to mention the fact that tens of billions of rubles were spent only on creating the engine of the“ second stage ”. It can be assumed that we are talking only about the implementation of the State Armaments Program to 2028, but without appropriate explanations, this raises many questions. ”, - the expert Avia.pro marks.

At the initial stage of development of the Su-57 fighter, it was assumed that it would be about creating almost a thousand fifth-generation combat aircraft, most of which were intended for export to other countries, but China, India, Iran and South Korea refused to buy Russian combat aircraft.
