A newly surfaced image of Russia’s Su-75 fighter has ignited speculation about flight tests, with analysts suggesting Belarus may join future production.

According to Ruben Johnson, a columnist for the National Security Journal, the recently circulated «new photo» of Russia’s Su-75 fighter jet may indicate that the aircraft has entered the stage of flight testing.

Johnson noted that the appearance of what seemed to be fresh images of the Su-75 caused a stir within the military aviation community. The photos, he explained, appeared to show a prototype preparing for flight trials on a runway.

He also recalled that earlier images of the Su-75 had already surfaced online in 2024, though they were taken from a considerable distance and appeared too blurred to confirm the aircraft’s model with certainty.

The journalist suggested that Belarus could be among the countries interested in the Su-75 once production begins. He added that Moscow and Minsk might potentially establish joint manufacturing of the fighter jet.
