MAKS 2021 Airshow is going on in Russia and this year UAC/Sukhoi have presented a new fighter aircraft, dubbed the #Checkmate, a lightweight, thrust vectoring single engine fighter aircraft aimed at competing with and surpassing the capabilities of the american F-35 by virtue of being faster, flying further, being stealthier and... cheaper (among others). ( : The new Checkmate (Su-75 apparently?) design is quite interesting, featuring a delta planform layout (no canards) with full-flying V-Tail stabs. It also features a quite uncommon chin inlet design that reminds of the X-32. That's all cool and well... but we know who the REAL CHECKMATE is, don't we? :DDD
