News reports about the new Russian fighter aircraft known as ATN-51 appear in the Russian media every now and then. Even though there is very little information about this aircraft, there is no smoke without fire. The Western military have dubbed Russia's latest development in aviation as "The Black Plague", but this is purely a Western designation.

As it is believed, the new aircraft is being developed for air battles in the Arctic region. Needless to say that the Arctic is overwhelmingly rich with oil and gas, which makes it very attractive to the countries that see Russia and its territory as a target.

Even though we hardly know anything about the new plane, it is known for certain that the aircraft will be able to carry out non-stop flights for distances of up to 15,000 kilometers. This suggests that the new airplane will have large fuel tanks. The ATN-51 will carry ten heavy supersonic missiles and a significant number of air-to-air missiles.

According to various sources, the new aircraft will go to tests in 2020.
