Russia will unveil a military aircraft next week it says will spark the interest of other countries "including our competitors abroad."

A cryptic marketing campaign is promoting the project that was developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), which is part of Rostec, Russia's state-owned defense and technology development group.

The plane will be revealed on Tuesday, July 20 on the first day of MAKC-2021, a biennial airshow held at Zhukovsky airport around 25 miles southeast of Moscow, Russia.

In teasing its release, a press statement by Rostec gave props to Russia as one of the few countries in the world which had "full-cycle technologies for the production of advanced aircraft systems." It says the upcoming unveiling will be of a "fundamentally new military aircraft."

It also praised Russia's status as a world leader in "making combat aircraft," suggesting that the new plane could be a fighter jet.

"We are convinced that the new product developed by UAC specialists will arouse genuine interest not only in our country but in other regions of the world, including our competitors abroad," the statement added.

The Russkies made the aliens a better deal than the US did.

Russian press is usually about something in the future. American press is usually about something we already have.

Hope Clint can get there before the show...

[Secret Agent Man]

Hopefully Ryobi will release one in the near future, either on their 18v or 40v platforms, 40v would be better....

[This_Dude]

Hopefully a phased one in the 40 watt range

It’s a dream, but if we are on such subjects might as well go for it.

I hate batteries, they are always going dead.

Rail guns? Mega Huge Power source. Run a city stuff.

[Secret Agent Man]

I know but with a plasma rifle, battery packs are your magazines... :)

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, but they weigh what a car does, smile.

[MAGA2017]

MiG-39 Firefox?

“Yeah but its still yet another plane.”

Probably a Tupelov 3000 that looks surprisingly like a DC-3.

[Secret Agent Man]

ok then i’ll go with a plasma pistol :)

[Viking2002]

Front me a couple million for R&D and I’ll get to work on that in the morning.

[Texas Fossil]

That is a thought.
