The report did not specify which countries bought the stealth warplane.
“The system of military-technical cooperation should bring new armaments and military hardware to the market. We have already signed the first contracts for the Su-57,” Mikheyev said.
He added that “partners from friendly countries” wanted to buy “reliable and proven” weapons from Russia and support the country’s industry so it could develop and “create new products for the next 10 – 20 years”.
The Su-57 is a twin-engined multirole fighter jet developed by Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi. First flown in 2010, the aircraft is known to be capable of aerial combat and both land and maritime strikes.
It combines stealth, supermanoeuvrability and supersonic cruise technology with integrated avionics and large payload capacity.
