MilitaryWatch authors named the export advantages of the recently introduced Russian Checkmate fighter. Experts believe that the aircraft could become a world bestseller and replace the American F-16.
The first thing the authors mentioned was the R-37M air-to-air missile, which is part of Checkmate's arsenal. She was named the fastest and most long-range in its class.
The second advantage of Checkmate is its use of stealth technology. They have been chosen to strike a balance between price and quality. As a result, the fighter is hardly noticeable to radars in the most important frontal projection.
The third advantage of the aircraft was recognized as supersonic speed without the use of afterburner. In addition, the Checkmate is equipped with a controlled thrust vector, which makes the fighter super-maneuverable.
Checkmate can also provide short takeoff and landing. And finally, the last advantage of the fighter is low maintenance requirements and relative low cost of operation.
