Meet Russia's Su-75, fifth Generation fighter jet. It has either already made or is preparing to make its first flight.
This aircraft is meant to complement the heavy interceptor Su-57. It will be an inexpensive single-engine frontline fighter capable of striking ground targets and engaging in air combat with an equal opponent.
At the same time, the declared cost of the aircraft up to 35 million dollars is much less than even the currently built 4+ generation aircraft. It is comparable to the cheapest NATO workhorses of the 4th generation (F-16, F-18, and the Swedish Gripen). Also, the flight hour cost of the Su-75 will be comparable to these "old-timers".
Judging by its characteristics and concept, our designers were inspired by the success of the Swedish Gripen. Only this will already be a 5th generation aircraft with all the necessary attributes for such machines (stealth, cruise supersonic speed, supermaneuverability).
