📷 Rostec, a Russian state defense company, has showed a fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft painted to look like the La-7 that was flown by renowned ace pilot Ivan Kozhedub, a native of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic during the Great Patriotic War.

“This is a tribute to the Soviet pilots who fought the Nazis and gave us a peaceful sky over our heads. Three-time Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Kozhedub made 330 combat sorties and personally shot down 62 German airplanes – the most among pilots of the anti-Hitler coalition. Then he commanded a group of Soviet pilots who burned American Sabres [North American F-86 Sabre] in the skies of Korea. In the new camouflage for the Su-57, we have embodied the image of the legendary the Great Patriotic War machine flown by the renowned ace,” said Oleg Evtushenko, executive director of Rostec.
