About SU-75 and SU-57 can be forgotten: the Russian Federation cannot sell for export combat fighters

Sanctions, low efficiency in the war and losses have made the Russian Federation that by the end of the decade is unlikely to be able to produce planes for export. Russia is increasingly difficult to implement export plans for its Su-75 and SU-57 fighters. About it reports Defense News. Prior to the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the Kremlin leadership had large-scale plans for the sale of the 57 generation of Su-57 and a light tactical fighter Su-75.

Now these plans are "in ruins". Production of the Su-57 fighter in the Russian Federation is at an extremely slow pace and suggests that the aircraft export will not be available by the end of the decade. The story of Su-75 "Checkmate" is even worse. In the Russian Federation only presented the fighter layout and he has not yet taken a single test flight. The only plane that the Russian Federation produces is currently commercially produced is the Su-35 fighter.

However, it will be difficult to send it even in small quantities. Earlier, Egypt, Indonesia and Algeria wanted to buy Russian aircraft, but the United States adopted a law on sanctions against third parties. Because of this, interest in the Su-35 fell off. After the invasion of Ukraine, sanctions have an increasing impact on the aerospace sector. They harm the Russian Federation in the completion of SU-57 and SU-75 programs, since production depends on Western machines and technologies.

The attractiveness of the Su-35 also decreased due to the lack of significant successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the invasion. They lost two squadrons of a multi -purpose fighter due to various defects. Based on all these factors, the publication concludes that even the desire will not be able to sell planes to other countries. Sanctions and losses of your own air park will not allow you to do so.
