Manturov called the timing of the creation of a new Russian fighter Checkmate

“Today, the main such novelty, which should be released in the next four years, is a new single-engine fighter,” said Manturov.

He added that in Russia "such a machine has not been produced for a long time."

Manturov noted that Russia "must return to the cohort of countries that today sells similar equipment on the international market."

Earlier it was reported that the presentation of the Russian single-engine Checkmate fighter was held at the MAKS-2021 air show, which was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
