Russia has claimed that it has found the first buyer of the fifth generation stealth fighter jet SU-57. This Russian fighter jet Su-57E recently had a spectacular entry in the Dubai Air Show. Sergei Chemozov, CEO of Russian state defense company Rostec, claimed that interest in SU-57 aircraft has increased abroad due to feedback from combat operations around the world.
Russia’s Su-57 gets its first customer
Vadim Badekha, head of Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation, announced the delivery of the first two Su-57 aircraft on Monday (17 November 2025). However, he did not reveal the name of the country to which Russia has sold these fighter jets. Sergei Chemozov, when asked about the export order, said, “I will not confirm the contract or any of our partners. We have received huge demand from many countries for this particular aircraft. We are hoping to increase this demand even further.”
Russia is continuously updating fighter jets
“Upgrading fighter jets is an ongoing process that continues during our special operations missions. We get feedback from our pilots from the combat zone and we upgrade our equipment accordingly,” he said, according to TWZ report. Russia is also showcasing a new turbofan engine called the Izdeliye 177S at this year’s Dubai Air Show. This engine was first demonstrated at the Zhuhai Air Show in China last year.
Russia claims to have sold two Su-57 aircraft
Earlier this year, it was claimed in many media reports that Russia had given Su-57 to Algeria. Delivery pictures of Su-57 from any other country have not been revealed yet. “Our foreign partner has received the first two Su-57 aircraft,” United Aircraft Corporation Director General Vadim Badekha said in an interview with Russia’s state-run Channel One television.
According to Sergei Chemozov, Russian defense exports have almost halved since the start of the war in Ukraine. He said that the reason for this is not the lack of international interest in Russian weapons, but the increasing demand for Russia’s own armed forces. Russia has offered Su-57 to UAE and India.
