Developed in Russia, the heavy assault unmanned aerial vehicle "Hunter" (R & D "Hunter-B") first appeared on the Web. The photo was taken at one of the Russian airfields (presumably at the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant).
As expected, the Okhotnik UAV was created according to the “flying wing” scheme. Thanks to this, the machine will have low radar visibility. It is assumed that the mass of new drone will be about 20 tons, and the maximum speed will exceed 1000 km / h.
According to the contract between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the company "Sukhoi" of 2011, the unmanned aerial vehicle of the new generation should have high autonomy, long range, and also be able to use a wide range of high-precision weapons. The “Hunter” was characterized as an “6-generation unmanned aerial vehicle”, and some of its systems were unified with the Su-57 fighter systems.
Earlier it became known about the successful completion of the ground test cycle of a new UAV, during which it was dispersed to 200 km / h. Currently, the device is being prepared for the first test flight.
