The Ministry of Defense will develop vertical takeoff aircraft for the aircraft carrier - Borisov

The plans are being discussed in the context of the draft state arms program and the measures planned in it.

The work on creating vertical takeoff aircraft for the aircraft carrier is underway. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Yuri Borisov.
"There are such plans: with a short take-off and landing and with vertical take-off," Borisov said.
Borisov suggested that the MiG-29 and Su-33 models could become obsolete in ten years. Therefore, according to him, it is logical that in the future it will require the creation of a new aircraft. He added that the plans are being discussed in the context of the draft state arms program and the measures planned in it.

Earlier, the head of the committee of the Council of Federation on Defense and Security Viktor Bondarev said that the agreed amount of the state armaments program (2018-2025) is 19 trillion rubles. According to him, the state program is in the final stage. He clarified that in some areas of work in the new GPV prolonged until 2027. ■
