Russia can barely fund Ukrainian land grabbing!

 

[nope]

LOL are they going to use chips from toaster and washing machines

Yes, the Su-57 is also a longterm project similar to the LCA Tejas ... but is it therefore succesful?

Depends on what is the objective for it to be successful.

Hahaha what really? Do they really used parts from Retails Sony cameras?

It's really hard to believe they have gone that low.

Ukrainians discover Canon DSLR in camera array of dismantled Russian drone

The military of defence in Ukraine has recently released a video that shows a Ukrainian soldier dismantling a Russian military surveillance drone. Standard stuff perhaps, but what is interesting is that the camera that is being used inside is a good old low-end Canon DSLR. The video shows a...

Russia’s Deadly Artillery Drones Have A Strange Secret (Updated)

Russia’s small drones are directing laser-guided precision artillery rounds onto Ukrainian tanks with deadly effect. A new video shows the design is less advanced than you might expect, with an off-the-shelf DSLR Canon camera, but it would be wrong to underestimate Russian drones.

Fake Ukrainian propaganda. Orlan does not use Cannon camera.

Might makes right. Americans taught Russians this. Russians are good students.

IMO I would rate it a successful project, if the prototype would ever fly ... based on your claim, it should be rated successful only when it enters service and replaces the MiG-29, which IMO will never happen, at least not in numbers.

Since it does not fit your agenda?

IMO 50 Su-75 is sufficient to replace 300 MiG-29. It is much more efficient than older planes. And modern warfare is low intensity and drone based.

Well ... and WHEN or HOW should this be done? Just look back at my earlier concerns! Your will and plans still does not make it fly.

It's actually worse, they stick an entire Canon Rebel T-6i on their Orlan Drone.

Russian Orlan-10 drone features a Canon camera, duct tape, and bottle top

A video released by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense shows a Ukrainian soldier taking apart a Russian military drone, called the Orlan-10. The surveillance aircraft features a low-end Canon camera, duct tape, and a bottle top for a fuel cap. The 2-minute video was produced by Ukraine's defense...

They didn't bothered to take the camera apart and put parts on it, instead, they just get the camera off the shelves and put it inside the drone.....

True, but since 2014 Western sanction there is no more Canon camera in Orlan drone. Now it only has military grade cameras made in Russia.

This thing will never be made or fly.

Not many countries would be interested in buying military gear from Russia now when we can see ERA packs are full of egg-cartons, missiles are guided by CPU's harvested from washing machines, and aviation radars still using transistor designs from the the 60's!!!!

And - lets not talk about optic sensors "harvested" from RETAIL Sony Camera's and used the suite of Russian UAV's ......

Russian wars are only good for the wars of the past - not the future.

If you want to purchase systems that are not subject to Western Veto's then it is now increasingly becoming Turkish once their programmes matures, in addition to existing Chinese and east asian(Korean) systems etc.

Hell - even the Russians were asking the Iranians for UAV's - that is how bad the Russian military complex is !!!!

The Ukranian war has basically destroyed the Russian military industrial complex !!!

The only thing in which they had some relevance in was Engines. In that also they have been left far behind by Western manufacturers.

Russia's 5th-Gen Stealth Fighter 'Su-75 Checkmate' To Start Flight Testing By 2024; Looks To Compete With Gripen, F-35A

Russia has declared its intention to construct four prototypes of the cutting-edge Su-75 Checkmate single-engine light fighter, Russian said

eurasiantimes.com

The Sukhoi Aircraft Company, a division of United Aircraft Corporation, debuted its latest domestic single-engine fighter, the Checkmate, at the MAKS 2021 international airshow, which took place in the suburban town of Zhukovsky outside Moscow.


On August 16, the CEO of United Aircraft Corporation, a division of the state-owned Rostec, spoke to TASS about their plans at the Army 2022 international military-technical forum.


The Russian Defense Ministry is hosting the Army 2022 international military-technical forum from August 15 to 21 at the Patriot Park near Moscow, at the Alabino practice range and the Kubinka airfield, as well as in all of Russia’s Military Districts, in the Northern Fleet, and in more than 30 Russian regions.

CEO Yury Slyusar described the company’s strategies while revealing that the Checkmate project uses cutting-edge supercomputer technologies. Due to this, the company can significantly shorten the prototype construction period and start the flight tests as early as 2024.


“Now preparations have been launched for the production of two prototypes. In all, we plan to build four prototypes,” the chief executive said. The fighter’s international debut took place at the Dubai Airshow 2021 in the United Arab Emirates. The aircraft is an offshoot of the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter.


According to Slyusar, foreign clients specified their needs for the Su-75 Checkmate fighter, and then work was done to optimize the aircraft. Since the project was introduced at the MAKS 2021 airshow, efforts have been made to gather feedback from prospective customers.

The Chief executive noted that in addition to the different requirements of the customers, work has also been done to reduce costs, analyze technical options, and significantly improve the competitive edge and commercial attractiveness of the domestic single-engine jet.


The Checkmate project has undergone modifications, and the date of the fighter’s first flight has changed. He said that the United Aircraft Corporation plans to test the fighter in 2024.

Checkmate’s Unmanned Version​

The Su-75 is predominantly being developed as an export model. The chief executive explained that the plane’s modular design and a few optional features allow it to utilize the best 5th generation technologies.


The CEO also disclosed information regarding Checkmate’s unmanned variant. The development of the base single-seat fighter will move forward concurrently with the development of the unmanned Checkmate, Slyusar said.


He noted that “the work on the Checkmate’s unmanned version has been ongoing since the early stages of designing. The unmanned version can be created alongside the single-seat airplane.


The potential for the unmanned aircraft’s flight tests will be developed as part of the outpacing work on the manned version.”


The CEO said that even the baseline single-seat aircraft includes technical innovations that will speed up the development of the unmanned version. This single-seat fighter jet will be armed with “an inboard compartment for airborne air-to-air and air-to-surface armaments.”


The fighter will have a payload of more than seven tones and be able to attack up to six targets simultaneously. The Checkmate fighter will have a 3,000 km operating range and be able to fly at Mach 1.8 (1.8 times the speed of sound). The aircraft will be equipped with a very effective engine.


In May 2022, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov revealed that Moscow will begin mass producing the fifth-generation combat fighter jet Checkmate in 2027.


Dmitry Shugayev, director of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, previously said the Russian Checkmate could be sold in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, potentially boosting Russian revenues in the face of severe Western sanctions.


The new combat aircraft’s low cost will give it a competitive edge over other single-engine fighters. The single-engine fighter jets are more affordable and better suited to light fighter aviation tasks.


The latest stealth fighter from Russia is anticipated to compete against the American F-35A Lightning II and the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen. The Checkmate incorporates cutting-edge technology, such as its open architecture configuration to meet the customer’s needs and special artificial intelligence techniques.

I have low expectations since the Su-57 got rejected by Russian air force and India

the avionics in Su-27 are below average even by 2000. It has fallen even more

Su-27 was state of the art in the early / mid 80. It has FBW which F-15 does not have.

By 2000 the avionics suite was far behind their Western counterparts. The largest customer India preferred Israeli and French avionics for their Flanker program
