UAC Delivers New Batch of Su-57, Su-35S Fighters to Russian Aerospace Forces

The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has delivered a batch of new Su-57 and Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces.

These aircraft, part of Russia's ongoing defense modernization efforts, were accepted by the technical staff after completing a full cycle of factory tests. Pilots from the Russian Ministry of Defense tested the fighters in various operating modes before they flew to their designated airfield, Rostec said in an official release.

Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy Director General of Rostec, said that further batches of Su-57 aircraft are at different stages of readiness, with the Su-35S production also progressing well.

In a related development, the UAC plant responsible for manufacturing these fighters is undergoing production upgrades. New construction and installation work has been completed at flight test station facilities. To support increased serial production of the Su-57, an additional building is being constructed to test the systems of the fifth-generation fighter.
