"This year we plan to complete state tests of the missiles and put the first production batches into service," Shoigu said at a conference call in Moscow.
The missiles are developed by the Vympel design bureau, which is part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation, and are designed to equip the modern Su-57 aircraft system and other carriers.
The new air-to-air missiles will enable the 5th generation Su-57 fighters to destroy small air targets equipped with stealth technology, Shoigu added.
