In the United States was concerned about the threat that promising and modern single-tog aircraft of Russia and China can bear. Military Watch Magazine Analysts Compare Russian Su-75 Checkmate with a J-10C Chinese Fighter.
The authors of the material note that the Su-75 and J-10C are an affordable alternative to the two-generation two-generation fighters. At the same time, both aircraft can carry modern missiles of a small range of air-air. The Russian rocket R-74 and the Chinese Pl-10 have similar characteristics, but the Chinese ammunition wins due to the ability to hit targets under “extreme corners”, – writes Military Watch.
Speaking of long-range missiles, the authors of the publication emphasize that Russian R-37M missiles are one of the best in the classroom. At the same time, the publication notes the high cost of the product, which leads to the low prevalence of the rocket. Meanwhile, the Chinese missile PL-15 is produced “in a much larger scale”, and is installed on most Chinese aircraft, – summarizes the Military Watch.
The authors of the publication suggested that the Su-75 will be modified the engine “product 30” engine, which is created for SU-57. In this case, the treagoice of the Russian aircraft will be higher than that of J-10C. Also, the advantage of checkmate can be low radar notice, which will give a plane advantages at the distance. This is due to the fact that a promising aircraft refers to the fifth generation.
Summarizing, the authors of The Military Watch note that Checkmate can become a “much greater threat of the interests of the West” than the Chinese aircraft. They justify their opinion with the potential prevalence of SU-75, which is focused on the export market. Also, the authors of the publication suggested that Checkmate will become the cheapest stealth aircraft on the market.
Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Industry Denis Manturov said that the development of a light fighter fighter will occur without foreign investment. At the same time, a foreign participation is not excluded in the project to create an aircraft.
