Fire catches Russia's only Su-57 production plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur

A fire has broken out at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant, Russia's sole production facility for the Su-57 fifth-generation stealth fighter. The incident threatens to disrupt an already constrained production line that has struggled to deliver aircraft at scale. Damage assessment is ongoing, with potential impact on Russia's air force modernization timeline. The fire could significantly delay Su-57 deliveries to the Russian Aerospace Forces.
