Russia's UAC Delivers New Batch of Su-57 Fighter Jets in Updated Configuration
The United Aircraft Corporation said the jets completed a full cycle of factory tests before being handed over to the military, according to Russian state media.
Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has delivered a new batch of Su-57 fighter jets to the country's military in what state media described as a new technical configuration, according to a report from TASS.
The aircraft reportedly underwent a full cycle of factory tests before being handed over, though the report did not specify the number of jets delivered or provide further detail on what distinguishes the new technical configuration from earlier versions.
The Su-57 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter developed by Russia and has been in various stages of production and deployment in recent years. Delivery of new batches to the armed forces has periodically been reported by Russian state media as part of coverage of the country's military modernization efforts.
TASS did not disclose additional details such as the specific units receiving the aircraft or the timeline for further deliveries.
The report reflects ongoing coverage by Russian state media of domestic defense manufacturing; independent verification of the claims was not available.
