Axar.az reports citing TASS.

"As for developing advanced aircraft, now the sides are in technical talks on 4++ generation aircraft and are also holding the first preliminary consultations on the fifth-generation jet," Shugayev said.

"Given its competence in manufacturing the fifth-generation jet, Russia could take part in this project: in particular, this cooperation is possible in a range of the jet’s systems," he noted.

According to Shugayev, the partners are now discussing this issue. "However, it’s early to say that substantive talks have been launched on creating a new jet by Russia and Turkey," he stressed.
