Chinanews.com, Moscow, August 2-Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Manturov said in an interview with Russian media on the 2nd that Russia's newly unveiled fifth-generation single-engine fighter may be named "Su-75".
Manturov said that the name "checkmate" used on the fighter's debut was named by the engineer.
In the end we will name it according to tradition, and the most likely name is "Su-75".
Manturov said that considering the low price of this fighter, it is very marketable.
Moreover, the performance of this fighter is not inferior or even better than other foreign aircraft.
On July 20th, Russia demonstrated its new fifth-generation fighter prototype for the first time at the Moscow Air Show, which aroused the attention of all parties.
This is the first time that Russia has launched a single-engine fighter in more than 50 years, focusing on overseas markets.
As a fifth-generation fighter, it has low detectability, super maneuverability and supersonic cruise capability.
According to media reports, the price of the fighter is 25-30 million U.S. dollars, which is much lower than some foreign fighters, such as the French Rafale and the Swedish Gripen fighter, which cost about 60-90 million U.S. dollars.
