The testing is in full swing, and the aircraft shows excellent performance and is expected to surpass all rivals, the Russian Air Force Commander said.
POGONOVO RANGE, Astrakhan Region (Sputnik) — The purchase volume of Russia’s fifth-generation T-50 PAK-FA fighter jets, to be produced in 2017, will be limited only by on the manufacturer’s production capability, Russian Air Force Commander Col.Gen. Viktor Bondarev said Thursday.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said in March that the ministry could reduce the purchases of PAK-FA fighters, due to “new economic circumstances.” The initial plan stipulated the acquisition of 10 fighters to be sent to the army for testing and subsequent acquisition, based on performance satisfaction, of another 60 T-50s.”The aircraft will enter mass production in 2017. We will order as many [fighter jets] as the industry can provide,” Bondarev told reporters.
