The Ministry of Defense of Russia called the deadlines for completing the tests of the Su-57 and MiG-35

“It is planned to complete the state tests of the MiG-35 at the end of 2021, and the Su-57 this year,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Dronov noted the cost-effectiveness of the MiG-35 fighters compared to the multifunctional aircraft of the 4 ++ Su-30SM and Su-35S generations already in service.

“The cost of his flight hour is about one and a half times lower than that of modern aircraft of the Sukhoi family,” said Dronov.

Earlier, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) reported that the Su-57 will be first presented at the static exposition of the MAKS-2019 air show.
