Russia to Showcase Su-57 at Air Show
Russia is expected to showcase the Sukhoi Su-57 fighter aircraft, the country’s first purported indigenously designed and built fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, at the MAKS airshow, held at the Zhukovky International Airport, southeast of Moscow in late August, state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said in a statement last week.
“The delegations from the Air Force and all the guests of the MAKS international aerospace show in the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow will be able to view the newest Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jets from August 27 to September 1,” the Rosoboronexport statement reads. Two Su-57 prototypes also participated in the 2017 iteration of the MAKS airshow, where the aircraft engaged in mock aerial combat.
