level of Readiness for further
0:27
development the Checkmate is a departure
0:30
from the conventional fighter design
0:31
philosophy as it is being developed as
0:34
an integrated system of interacting
0:36
aircraft rather than as a standalone

slusar has suggested that the
2:33
development timeline is accelerating
2:36
with the possibility of deliveries
2:37
commencing as early as 2025 which is one
2:41
year ahead of the original schedule the
2:43
aircraft's design is based on the
2:45
scientific and Technical Solutions that
2:47
were developed for the Sue
2:49
57e and incorporates the lessons learned
2:52
from combat operations in Syria in order
2:55
to optimize costs and maintenance the
2:57
Checkmate incorporates numerous
2:59
components from extant Russian aircraft
3:02
such as the Su 57s cockpit design and
3:05
onboard systems suco designer M nikat

tushin has confirmed that the checkmates
3:10
power plant is a modified version of the
3:12
product 117 turbojet bypass engine al41
3:17
F1 which has been specifically adapted
3:19
for single engine operation with
3:21
improved reliability features the
3:24
Checkmate will be the first single
3:25
engine fighter in Russian Aviation since
3:28
the Mig 23 and this engine choice is a
3:31
significant Milestone when it unveiled
3:33
the new fifth generation light combat
3:35
aircraft in July 2021 the Russian

3:58
are up to seven times s lower than those
4:01
of comparable Western Fighters such as
4:03
f-35a with an estimated unit cost of $30
4:07
million uac's comprehensive approach to
4:10
the aircraft's development which
4:12
integrates advanced technology with
4:14
practical considerations for maintenance
4:17
and operational costs indicates a robust
4:20
foundation for the program's future
4:22
success the aircraft was supposed to

Russia's Aerospace capabilities and has
4:35
the potential to significantly impact
4:37
the future trajectory of fighter
4:39
aircraft development particularly in the
4:41
areas of modular design and adaptable
4:44
platforms the aviation Community is
4:47
closely monitoring the progress of the
4:49
program to determine the performance of
4:51
this Innovative fighter in real world
