MOSCOW, Dec 25 (NNN-TASS) – Russian officials say, a top-of-the-line fighter jet crashed, on a training mission, but that its pilot bailed out safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation, said that, the Su-57 fighter came down, during a training flight near Komsomolsk-on-Amur, in the country’s far east. It said, the plane’s pilot ejected safely and there was no damage on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause of the crash wasn’t immediately known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Su-57, which made its maiden flight in 2010, is Russia’s most advanced fighter plane. It has stealth capability and carries sophisticated equipment and weapons. The twin-engine aircraft has been designed by the Sukhoi company, to compete with the U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crash marks the first loss of a Su-57, 10 of which have been built at Sukhoi’s plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, for pre-production tests and combat evaluation. Some of them have been flown in combat during Russia’s military campaign in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Russian air force placed an order for 76 such aircraft to be delivered by 2028.– NNN-TASS <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
