"Requests were received concerning the Su-57E aircraft, although there are no Middle East countries among them. Nevertheless, foreign customers of this region show interest in this airplane as well," the press service said.

The top priority task is to supply the Su-57 airplane to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Service said. "However, we are ready to start deliberation of this topic in case of interest of our foreign partners," the press service noted.

The Su-57 fifth-generation fighter aircraft is intended to neutralize all kinds of aerial, ground-based and above-water targets.
