We expect to carry out the first flight in early 2024,” he noted.

Russian State Defense Contracts Boomed in 2023 - United Aircraft Corporation
This year alone, the Russian defense industry has seen a major rise in both developing and producing new advanced equipment and refining and improving existing ones. The United Aircraft Corporation has spoken on the company's latest trends and federal contracts.
Russia’s
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has commented on the company’s performance in the passing year, as well as its fulfillment of federal contracts signed with Russia’s Ministry of Defense (MoD).
The number of orders for the
5th generation Su-57 aircraft placed by the Russian Aerospace Forces doubled in 2023. All of the contracts were implemented in full.
"We have fulfilled defense procurement contracts. Under the terms of the contracts, things went as scheduled; everything was delivered on time, in some cases even earlier than planned… The number of orders went up across all the plants, for some of them – quite significantly. When it comes to the new Su-57 plane, the number actually doubled. It is a complex aircraft. Working on it was an honor,” Yury Slyusar, UAC general director, told Rossiya 24.

According to the top executive, this year
Russia’s MoD received all the commissioned aircraft, and there are “
even more orders” coming in 2024.
The Su-57 is a fifth-generation multipurpose fighter. It was created using low-visibility capabilities and advanced electronics. This combat vehicle is capable of carrying weapons in the fuselage. The aircraft also has supersonic cruising speed and is able to maneuver even with a high overload.
Serial deliveries for these planes began in 2022. Under the current state program, Russian Aerospace Forces are to receive 76 Su-57s before 2027.
In 2023, the UAC also handed over six Il-76 to the MoD, all assembled at the Aviastar-SP aircraft factory based in Ulyanovsk. Additionally, the company plans to increase aircraft production to 18 vehicles annually, Slyusar added.
"The MoD will require a large number of these aircraft in the coming years. The plan is to manufacture 18 of them a year in Ulyanovsk. This year we made six, that’s worth something," he said.
According to the company's official,
IL-76 is essential when it comes to logistics and deliveries in special military op.
Slyusar pointed out that the manufacturing process was previously held in Tashkent in Uzbekistan. The aircraft assembled in Ulyanovsk have received 70 new build systems, new engines and
new onboard equipment.
