The new design is intended to increase the aerodynamic efficiency and maneuverability of the aircraft. However, experts noted that it remains questioning whether the flight characteristics of the Russian aircraft at least compared to the direct competitor-F-35 Lightning II. For the first time, the large-scale model of the latest creation of the Aviation Company "Sukhoy"-a multifunctional fighter of the 5th generation of Su-75 Checkmate in the unmanned version was presented.

Moreover, experts noted that the model was made with the new design of the tail part and wings of the aircraft. This was reported on September 22 by Bulgarian Militis. The authors of the material noted that the new model of the unmanned SU-75 may vary in shape from the manned variant, and the new tail and wings design may be associated with optimization for automatic mode.

"Such adaptation can significantly increase the efficiency of air patrolling and observation, which will contribute to the more rational use of weapons and resources," experts said. They also drew attention to the use of a flat nozzle, similar to the nozzle of the C-70 aircraft. This can increase the aerodynamic efficiency and maneuverability of the drone.

Meanwhile, increased interest is that in the coming year the test of a manned Su-75 variant is planned, because in the conditions of changing geopolitical situation for the Russian defense-industrial complex the relevance of acceleration of this procedure is obvious. The Russians seek to promptly introduce and deploy advanced technologies in the accelerated rivalry of weapons, the observers explained, as even one day can dramatically change the situation.

In fact, the demonstration of the unmanned Su-75 Checkmate is a turning point in the history of the Russian Aviation, especially since the Russians seek to bypass their main opponent-the American F-35 fighter, which largely exceeds all other samples of combat aircraft of the Russian Air Force. It is argued that one of the significant advantages of the SU-75 is its economy, since the operating costs for one flight hour in Checkmate allegedly form only one seven of the F-35 value.

The authors of the publication have noticed that new forms of the unmanned Su-75 Corps are similar to the previous concept of the 6th generation of Lockheed Martin, which is part of the Next Generation Air Dominance initiative. The changes touched the sides of the fuselage, kilos, bases of kilos and edges of air intake contours, designed to reduce radar. The flap and tail part were also increased, which promises to improve aerodynamics and strength of the whole structure.

At the same time, all the statements of Russian developers that Su-75 will be comparable to the American fighter F-35 Lightning II by maneuverability. Earlier it was reported that despite the high-profile statements of the Russian military about the power of Su-57 and SU-75 aircraft, they were not used during hostilities in Ukraine. At the same time, according to the Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat, it is not necessary to exclude the option that the occupiers used them in air aggression remotely.
