Minister sees light fighter aircraft Checkmate ready in 4 years

ZHUKOVSKY, Moscow Region, Jul 20 (PRIME) -- Russia’s newest fifth generation light fighter aircraft Checkmate will be ready in four years, Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told reporters at the MAKS-2021 airshow on Tuesday.

“The main innovation that will be available in the next four years is a new single-engine fighter. We have not produced such planes for a long time, and we want to return to the club of states that sell such aircraft on the international market,” he said.
