The main feature of the light Russian fifth-generation fighter Checkmate, which is being prepared to be produced in Russia, is stealth. A captain of the first rank of the reserve, a military expert, spoke about this in a conversation with Lenta.ru Vasily Dandykin.
“We have a fifth-generation heavy fighter – Su-57. Now it will be easy to gain air superiority. This is a continuation of the line of legendary Moment. As far as we know, this fighter will be single-engine. It will be inconspicuous with good characteristics in terms of maneuverability and speed,” the specialist said.
