“Simultaneously, of course. Work is in progress here and abroad. We have aviation industry and design bureaus were very good. I think that the sixth generation is not far,” Bondarev told reporters Friday, August 12, 2016.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that the Moscow-based Sukhoi Design Bureau, part of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), has presented its first designs for a sixth-generation jet. In 2014, the UAC said it plans to complete the first sixth-generation aircraft by the late 2020s.
Currently, Russia’s fifth-generation Sukhoi PAK FA stealth multirole fighter project is in advanced stages of development and is undergoing flight testing. The aircraft is expected to complete tests this year before serial production commences in 2017
