“Naturally, the partners of Rosoboronexport were interested in the newest light tactical aircraft Checkmate, first presented by the state corporation Rostec at MAKS-2021,” RIA Novosti Mikheev quotes.
He said that "a number of customers were shown it live and even given the opportunity to sit in the cockpit."
"They highly appreciated its characteristics," added Mikheev.
Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia Denis Manturov said that the new Russian single-engine Checkmate fighter would be ready within four years.
