New Generation SU-75 vs F-35
In recent years, the only next-generation fighter produced in Russia has been the Sukhoi Su-57 — a twin-engine model with the overall shape of a stealthy aircraft. The other fighters still produced in Russia like the upgraded MiG-29 (called MiG-35) and the Sukhoi Su-35 are old designs dating back to the 1980s.
The Su-57 has been produced thus far in small numbers (only 78 total on order) with the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) as the only customer — and has proven far more expensive than initially projected. It was also hamstrung when India, seen as the more promising export customer for the Su-57, declined to become an R&D or production partner; Russian fighter aircraft programs traditionally depend heavily on external customers to help launch and finance production.
