Su-75

Brief description

The Su-75 Checkmate is a fifth-generation single-engine multi-role stealth fighter, developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Designed as a cost-effective highly capable platform, the Su-75 is intended to deliver superior combat performance across a wide range of air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.

The aircraft is optimized for low radar observability through an advanced stealth airframe, internal weapon bays, and radar-absorbent materials, providing a low radar cross-section across multiple frequency bands. It is capable of around-the-clock, all-weather operations, including missions in dense electronic countermeasure environments.

The Su-75 is expected to carry a wide range of modern guided munitions, including air-to-air, air-to-ground, and anti-ship weapons, while maintaining compatibility with Russian and export-standard weapon systems.
