Russia's secret weapon, the Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik also known as the "Hunter," is an advanced Russian stealth heavy unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) currently under development by Sukhoi and Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG. It is part of a sixth-generation aircraft project and is based on the earlier Mikoyan Skat, designed by MiG, with some technologies derived from the fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jet.
Designed to operate in conjunction with the Su-57 jets, the Okhotnik is intended to be controlled by Su-57 pilots, similar to the USAF Skyborg program. Its design follows a flying-wing configuration and incorporates the use of composite materials and stealth coatings, allowing the drone to be low-observable during flight. With a weight of approximately 20 tons and a wingspan of about 65 feet (20 meters), the Okhotnik is a formidable unmanned aircraft.
The drone is powered by either a single AL-31F turbofan engine, utilized in the Sukhoi Su-27 fighter aircraft, or an improved AL-41F derivative found in Su-35S fighters and Su-57 prototypes. Development of the Okhotnik began in 2014, and the first prototype successfully completed its maiden flight in August 2019. Extensive testing has been conducted alongside the Su-57, and it is anticipated that the Okhotnik will enter service with the Russian Air Force in the early 2020s.
The Okhotnik represents a significant advancement in Russian military aviation and is viewed as a potential game-changer in future warfare. Its stealth capabilities make it difficult to detect and engage, while its substantial payload capacity enables it to carry a wide range of weapons. This versatility allows the Okhotnik to perform various missions, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and electronic warfare operations.
