UAV "Okhotnik" will increase the safety of the Su-57 fighter during combat operations - Latin American military observer
The Latin American press discusses the prospects for the Russian heavy strike drone "Hunter". Military observer Juan Carlos Benavides notes that Russia may soon become the first country in the world to use drones as a means of air interception.
At the same time, an observer from Argentina writes that such an option for using a shock drone able to improve the safety of the Su-57 fighter. In particular, we are talking about tests that showed that the Russian Aerospace Forces are going to use a fifth-generation fighter in conjunction with an UAV. When performing a real combat operation, the "Hunter" will be able to attack enemy air assets that pose a direct threat to the Su-57 fighter. At the same time, the collection of information can be carried out in a kind of cooperation mode: both by the Su-57 itself and the Okhotnik UAV, which in general will increase efficiency in the exchange of relevant data and in making a particular decision.
In the comments to Benavides' publication, Argentine users suggested paying more attention to modern Russian weapons in terms of the possibility of acquiring them. In particular, it is noted that "it is time to overcome the British blocking of the full development of the armed forces." In Argentina, many believe that the loss of the San Juan submarine during its passage "was not without British intervention."
Recall that between Argentina and Britain, the issue of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) remains an acute issue of relations.
