It will not appear for another 20 years: the Russian Federation was told about the timing of the 6th generation aircraft creation

Only to find out that the new fighter will be a symbiosis of manned aviation and unmanned technologies, did Russian officials take three years. The Director General of the State Research Institute of Aviation Systems (State Diage) Sergey Khokhlov stated that the timing of the creation of a new Russian fighter of the sixth generation "depend on the customer". According to him, it will take at least 30 years to develop such a machine. This was reported on August 13 by TASS.

"We did not put any such terms for ourselves. It all depends, again, on the customer: when he finally creates such a task for industry. The fifth generation aircraft was created for over 30 years. Horizons here will probably be at least no less. It began, " - quotes the agency of the word Khokhlov.

Commenting on the statement of the head of the state -Dias, the Defense Express reviewers noted that in Russia, it seems that they do not have the idea that they should eventually be the sixth generation fighter. The fact is that it was only to find out that the aircraft will be "piloted", in the United Air Buddy Corporation (UAC), it took three years because the discussion began in 2021.

In other words, during this time, the UAAs decided that a new fighter would be a symbiosis of manned aviation and unmanned technologies. At the same time, analysts have noted that the Western programs of the sixth generation aircraft already provide for the possibility of optional piloting - this makes the statement of Russian specialists somewhat delayed. Earlier, Focus wrote that the State Corporation of Rostech announced preparation for the start of production of Su-75 The Checkmate fighters.
