1/ In June, Yuri Borisov stated that the #VKS will receive 4 #Su57|s this year. In July, Yuri Slusar stated that, starting in 2022, 12 Su-57s will be delivered each year.
4 in 2021 + 12 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 & 2026 adds up to the planned figure of 76 aircraft. Short thread👇

2/ Only one Su-57 is known to have been delivered this year (while Russian media claimed that it was delivered in December 2020, the delivery appears to have actually taken place in January this year). See thread for more details:

12 Su-57s per year is not a big figure; however time will tell whether UAC will be able to stick to the planned annual production figures.

CORRECTION: Forgot to add 2027 in the first post. It should say "4 in 2021 + 12 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 & 2027 adds up to the planned figure of 76 aircraft." (That is the contract signed by the Russian Defense Ministry for 76 Su-57s).

1/ Very interesting: 51P6E2 TEL displayed at ARMY-2020 Forum. The TEL is listed as part of a new SAM-ABM system called "Abakan."

Note that the 51P6E2 bares no resemblance to S-400's 51P6E TEL (even the chassis is completely different).

2/2 The 51P6E2's two container-launchers and radar mast resemble those of the S-300V's 9A84 transporter-loader and 9A83 TELAR, respectively. The latter two, however, feature a tracked chassis.

1/ Take this with a grain of salt, but the 92N6A fire-control radar used in Russian military #S400 systems seems markedly more capable than its export version (the 92N6E).
Note the claimed detection ranges for a target with a 4 m2 RCS:
92N6A: up to 480 km
92N6E: up to 250 km

@konrad_muzyka

2/ Photos of the data for the 92N6E is from a 2019 Almaz-Antey marketing brochure that was kindly sent to me by @konrad_muzyka

3/ Data for the 92N6A is from a local media news report on an event held by the 1490th SAM Regiment (Leningrad Oblast) (2nd Air Defense Division, 6th Air and Air Defense Army). News report can be viewed here (0:45):
