Successful operations of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria have shown that Russian aviation is one of the strongest in the world. However, at present there is an active development of new aircraft and modernization of the existing ones. This will allow Russia to become a leader in the military-air sphere once again.
At the international aerospace show MAKS-2017, which was held from July 18 to 23 in Zhukovsky outside Moscow, a new Russian missile and aircraft equipment was shown. At this salon, the following equipment was presented: a fifth-generation fighter PAK FA (T-50) aircraft complex, a new MiG-35, and arctic drones.\
The perspective aviation complex of front-line aviation PAK FA (T-50) combines the functions of a strike aircraft and a fighter. The T-50 has been increased engine power, bomb load, range and improved dozens of other parameters. This fifth-generation aircraft is equipped with a radically new avionics complex and a prospective radar station. The new fighter features low-visibility, super maneuverability, "smart" airframe and the ability to go to supersonic speeds without afterburner. The T-50 is armed with the latest tactical missile Kh-35U, capable of destroying any naval targets - from the landing craft to the aircraft carrier, as well as ground objects - warehouses, fortifications and military equipment. The T-50 should replace the Su-27. The army will receive the first batch of these 12 aircraft in 2019. The main competitors of the PAK FA project are the American F-22 and F-35.
The newest light fighter MiG-35 is a multi-purpose fighter of a new generation, which is the further development of combat aircraft MiG-29K / KUB and MiG-29M / M2 in the direction of increasing combat efficiency and versatility, as well as improving operational characteristics. In terms of range, the new fighter is 1.5 times higher than its predecessors. The MiG-35 can follow 30 targets at a distance of up to 160 km. MiG-35 is able to use all types of aircraft ammunition, including laser weapons, which allows creating massive interference and disabling many components of modern aircraft technology, thereby nullifying the western advantage in electronics. Serial production of the MiG-35 will begin in the next two years. Until 2020, it is planned to purchase 37 MiG-35 serial fighters for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
At MAKS-2017, prototypes of unmanned aerial vehicles VRT300, intended for development of the Arctic, were presented. These drone will help determine the thickness of the ice and optimize the course of the vessel in accordance with the received data. Also, the first heavy unmanned aerial vehicle of the Russian production "Orion-E" was shown, which in terms of carrying capacity and range can be classified as heavy reconnaissance drones. "Orion-E" can carry a payload weighing up to 200 kg and stay in the air for up to 24 hours. The range of the device is 300 km. In addition, there is a prototype of the second perspective heavy unmanned aerial vehicle "Altair", which is able to stay in the air for about 48 hours. This drone can reconnoiter from an altitude of 12 thousand meters, and the range of its flight will be about 10 thousand kilometers. Serial production of "Altair" is planned to be started in 2018.
Along with this, the serial production of the strategic bomber-missile carrier Tu-160 "Nikolay Kuznetsov" is reviving in Russia. Tu-160M2 will be significantly upgraded, which will create a promising long-range aviation complex. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is discussing the creation of a vertical takeoff aircraft for aircraft carriers based on the Yak.
