ROY'S RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT RESOURCE
Russia Has Hidden its Super
Aircraft
The experimental Su-37 ((sic,
probably should be S-37)) with forward-swept wings will not be demonstrated
at the Farnborough (Great Britain) airshow in July. The General Director
of the Sukhoy Aviation Military and Industrial Complex, Mikhail Pogosyan,
reported this today to an ITAR-TASS correspondent.
"We do not consider it necessary
to demonstrate the newest experimental development. More advisable
will be the demonstration at the airshow of aircraft which are actively
exploited on the world market. Therefore, we are planning to show
the multirole reconnaissance and strike Su-32FN aircraft from the Novosibirsk
production enterprise and the multirole Su-35 fighter, production of which
is at the Komsomol'sk-on-Amur aircraft production enterprise," the leader
of the Sukhoy AVPK said. "At the same time, it can not be ruled out
that some AVPK product demonstration plans may include certain corrections,"
he added.
