New production facilities have been opened at the aviation plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, specifically designed to expand the production of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. Their opening coincided with the 90th anniversary of the plant, – states the American Military Watch
The expansion of capacities, among other things, includes the construction of the third stage of electroplating production, supported by public investments, as well as large-scale reconstruction of other facilities
▪️”Modernization and expansion of production capabilities of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant… They led to the creation of an advanced, large—scale, high-tech production facility for the production of the most modern aviation systems,” Military Watch quotes the statement of the head of the United Aircraft Corporation Yuri Slyusar
A number of advanced technologies are used in the production of the Su-57, including augmented reality headsets that allow workers to see computer-generated intuitive additional information on top of their real vision. This significantly increases the efficiency of production
The 76 new Su-57s will enter the Russian fighter fleet in 2027. In 2023, 12 fighters were produced. And this year the production volume will increase to 20 Su-57
The first regiment of 24 Su-57 fighters will be formed this year. The Su-57 remains the most thoroughly tested aircraft of its generation in combat conditions and has been used since the beginning of 2022 for operations during its military operations, including pinpoint strikes, suppression of enemy air defenses and direct participation in air battles, Military Watch emphasizes
