Even for the U.S., producing on their own is quite expensive,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked why Russia is turning to the Untied Arab Emirates to co-produce the aircraft, Kladov would only say: \u201cBecause Emirates have very keen interest of new technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Checkmate is standing at a static display in a closed box at the Dubai Airshow, which is taking place Nov. 14-18. The showroom floor version is an experimental model. Production is expected to start by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2021\/07\/27\/see-russias-new-checkmate-fighter-jet-unveiled-at-defense-expo\/\" target=\"_blank\">showed off the jet<\/a> during Russia\u2019s MAKS 2021 aviation show in July. Rostec owns Sukhoi parent company United Aircraft Corporation. Its manufacturer called the single-engine aircraft a fifth-generation fighter with an open-architecture design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Checkmate combines low visibility and excellent equipment, and is ideal in terms of combat effectiveness and [cost per] flight hour,\u201d Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov said in a statement. \u201cAll these factors make the aircraft a unique offer in the international arms market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kladov said there are plans for an unmanned version of the aircraft. \u201cWe foresee that maybe in five years, we have the unmanned version of Checkmate controlled by artificial intelligence,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the 2017 UAE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/idex\/\" target=\"_blank\">defense show IDEX<\/a>, Russia announced that Rostec would co-develop a fifth-generation light combat fighter with the UAE. It\u2019s unclear whether the Checkmate is the result of this agreement, as company officials would not provide a clear answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company also
