Currently, Greece, Turkey and South Korea are the only countries that operate both types of American fighter jets. Later a sequence of the Checkmate overflying a row of F-4 Phantom and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets plays, as the row gets obscured by smoke, seemingly being either bombed or dusted by the exhaust of the Russian fighter. The pilot of the Checkmate presses the trigger, opening fire at both aircraft. The video shows the Checkmate performing various missions, including locking on the Bayraktar Akinci, an upcoming Turkish combat drone, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jet. The video portrays an officer of a fictional middle-Eastern air force (referred to as вЂAir Force commander of a foreign countryвЂ™ in the press release) praising the advantages of the jet, as a video reel of the Checkmate in action plays. The company also published a detailed interactive press release and a video, providing a glimpse into the specifications of the jet. Russian state conglomerate Rostec has showcased its latest project, the Sukhoi Checkmate fighter jet, at the Dubai Airshow 2021.
