![]() Similar to other two-seater models of the Sukhoi company, the modifications feature a tandem two-seater cockpit, with the rear seat raised to provide some forward vision. Two-seater versionīased on this latest redesign, UAC presented the design of a “single-engine two-seater stealth aircraft”. The Sukhoi single-engine fighter was revealed two years ago at MAKS 2021 with the formal designation LTS (Lightweight Tactical Aircraft) and the nickname Checkmate. This could mean that either the side armament bays (where short-range air-to-air missiles would normally be housed) have been enlarged or that the amount of internal fuel that the Checkmate can carry has been increased… or both. There is also a modification to the fuselage that seems to increase the internal volume of the aircraft. On the other hand, the engine installation appears to have been slightly advanced. The event was streamed online on Youtube by Rostec, Russia’s. This is a digitally altered (to highlight the shape of the aircraft) composite image of the CheckMate. The Sukhoi Su-75 CheckMate, also known as the Light Tactical Aircraft, or LTS in Russian was formally unveiled at the opening of the MAKS international air show at Zhukovsky. It is the product of the PAK FA (Russian:, short for:, romanized: Perspektivnyy Aviatsionnyy Kompleks Frontovoy Aviatsii, lit. Sukhoi Su-75 CheckMate Credits: screenshot from Rostec live streaming. The most noticeable change is the modification to the wing, with respect to the model presented at MAKS-2021 and the Dubai Air Show 2021 (the only time the mockup was exhibited outside Russia), which features an extension and inclination of the trailing edge, increasing the wing area and, perhaps, slightly reducing the aircraft’s rear radar signature. Checkmate, new Sukhoi fifth-generation stealth fighter jet is seen during an opening ceremony of the MAKS-2021 air show in Zhukovsky. A prototype of Russia's new Sukhoi 'Checkmate' fighter is on display at the MAKS 2021 International Aviation and Space Salon, in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow, on July 20. The Sukhoi Su-57 (Russian: -57 NATO reporting name: Felon) is a twin-engine stealth multirole fighter aircraft developed by Sukhoi.
