Rostec State Corporation will present the Su-57E fifth-generation fighter jet for the first time in the Middle East during the Dubai Airshow 2025, where it will also take part in the official flying display. The aircraft is designed for high manoeuvrability, low radar visibility, and precision engagement, and has already proven its performance in large-scale combat operations.

 

According to Rostec, the Su-57E is the only fifth-generation fighter in the world with confirmed effectiveness in real-world military conditions. It is capable of deploying a broad range of precision-guided munitions and operating in contested environments while remaining largely undetectable to enemy radar.

“Dubai Airshow is one of the key global venues where current trends in aviation and defense are shaped. As always, we have something to show and offer to the global community, in both the military and civilian segments. I am sure that there will even be a number of surprises, as this year we will unveil several products that are new for the Middle East. These include the new Ansat with a Russian-made powerplant, the upgraded Yak-130M, and, of course, the Su-57, which has proven its status as a fifth-generation fighter in real-world combat conditions,” said Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec.

He added, “The advantages of our aircraft include the fact that they do not rely on foreign components, as well as their state-of-the-art performance characteristics, and an extensive track record of their operation, which speaks for itself. This is why our airplanes and helicopters are sought after in many countries around the world.”

 

 

The Su-57E’s participation will headline Rostec’s wider display at the exhibition, which includes aircraft from United Aircraft Corporation, Russian Helicopters, and United Engine Corporation. The Dubai Airshow 2025 will take place from 17 to 21 November, showcasing Russian aerospace technology to international partners and customers.
