Deliveries of PAK FA fifth-generation fighter aircraft to the Russian Armed Forces are most likely to start under the new 2018-2025 arms procurement program, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PAK FA (T-50) fighter was first seen in\u00a0January 2010 when it was presented at\u00a0the air show MAKS-2011. Mass production of\u00a0Russia\u2019s Sukhoi T-50 fifth-generation fighter jets will begin in\u00a02017.<\/p>\n

“The deliveries are most likely to\u00a0start in\u00a0the framework of\u00a0the next arms procurement program in\u00a02018-2025,”<\/em> Borisov told reporters in\u00a0Budapest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are conducting flight testing, we have bought a limited batch to\u00a0see how these aircraft perform, to\u00a0eliminate all flaws and introduce all necessary changes,”<\/em> Borisov said.<\/p>\n

The T-50 prototype aircraft is designed by\u00a0the Russian Sukhoi aircraft manufacturer for\u00a0the PAK FA, a fifth-generation fighter program of\u00a0the Russian Aerospace Forces. It is a single-seat, twin-engine multirole jet fighter designed for\u00a0air superiority and attack roles. The aircraft, equipped with\u00a0advanced avionics and all-digital flight systems, will become the first operational stealth aircraft of\u00a0the Russian Aerospace Forces.<\/p>\n
