Russia has begun construction of the first prototype of its new Su-75 “Checkmate” fighter jet. The project aims to create a relatively inexpensive, fast, and difficult-to-detect combat aircraft. Currently, the Su-75 has not yet undergone flight testing, representing a key milestone in its development. Details regarding the aircraft's capabilities and intended role within the Russian military remain limited. The development of the Su-75 signals Russia’s continued investment in modernizing its air force. This initiative aims to produce a competitive fighter jet, balancing cost-effectiveness with performance. It underscores Russia’s ambitions in the global arms market.
