Everything in Russia is copied from Western models: aviation expert points out the weakness of enemy aircraft Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

Russia has large reserves aviation. However, a significant portion of them are Soviet-style aircraft or analogues of Western machines.

About this 24 Kanal was told by aviation expert, deputy director of the company for the production of electronic warfare equipment Anatoly Khrapchinsky, noting that there is no 5th generation aviation in Russia. He added that the only 4+ generation aircraft is the Su-57.

Disadvantages of Russian aircraft

Anatoly Khrapchinsky noted that since then Russia began to offer its aircraft to partners, but they were faced with the lack of competitiveness of this aircraft. It is about weak radar systems and avionics. After such tests, many foreign components appeared in Russian aircraft, which are still there.

< p dir="ltr">After a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the introduction of sanctions against the aggressor country, the Russians are trying to manufacture their own components for aviation. Such attempts are futile, so they are trying to bypass the bans in order to continue purchasing the necessary parts for the aircraft.

Everything that Russia has is a copy of what was done abroad. In particular, the Tu-160 is that same B-1 Lancer. There is still a lot of such military equipment in Russia, the aviation expert said.

He emphasized that the aggressor country has accumulated quite a few such aircraft, but the high technology there is < strong>low.
