The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) a new batch of fifth-generation Su-57 production aircraft as part of the current year's supply program.
A new batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters has been delivered under a large contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense," said Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec, the holding company of UAC without specifying the number of aircraft. However, previous Su-57 deliveries to the MoD have been in numbers below 10.
The Su-57 has been deployed during combat operations in Ukraine where it has impressed Russian Air Force officials.

We will continue to fulfill our obligations. Aircraft scheduled for delivery next year are already in production,” said Yury Slyusar, Director General of PJSC UAC.
