The United Aircraft Corporation (part of Rostec) will present a fundamentally new military aircraft on July 20, the first day of the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon in Zhukovsky.
Last night, a countdown to the model’s premiere appeared on the project’s website. The presentation can be watched on Rostec and UAC YouTube channels, as well as on the official project website.
“Russia is one of the few countries in the world with full-cycle capacities for producing advanced aircraft systems, as well as a recognized trendsetter in the creation of combat aircraft. The new product developed by UAC specialists should arouse genuine interest not only in our country, but also in other regions of the world, including our competitors abroad”, said the Rostec spokesman.
Individual elements of the new plane can already be seen in the video posted on the checkmate.uacrussia.ru project page. The video also contains allusions to the key characteristics and unique properties of the project.
This year, the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2021 will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. The air show will be held from 20 to 25 July in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. All events connected to MAKS-2021 will be organized under strict requirements to counter the spread of the coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
