“The concept itself is unique. Neither the Americans, nor NATO, nor any other country has such a vehicle. [Next year – Ed.] we will conduct the first tests, serial production – I think we will come out in a year or two,” he said in response to a question about the stage of work on the machine (quoted by TASS).

Sukhoi, which is part of the United Aircraft Corporation (controlled by Rostec), has been developing the S-70 Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The drone is based on a “flying wing” design using stealth technology, which reduces its signature for radar detection. The Okhotnik has a take-off weight of up to 20 tonnes and a maximum flight speed of around 1,000 km/h, according to publicly available sources.
