Newsweek: Russia Teases 'Fundamentally New' Military Aircraft to Be Unveiled  

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.
