The second sample of the strike UAV "Okhotnik" will be structurally different from the first

The deadline for completing the creation of the second prototype of the Okhotnik strike UAV is reported. Recall that the first aircraft of this type is already being tested, including in conjunction with the fifth generation Su-57 fighter.

As the RIA News citing sources, the second built copy of the Russian heavy strike drone will be different from the first one. And these differences are called serious. In particular, it was noted that the second vehicle will differ from the experimental first version in the first place in that it is a pre-production vehicle created taking into account the tests of the first sample of the Okhotnik. The machine will be structurally different from its predecessor.



It is indicated that the second sample of the S-70 "Okhotnik" being created in Novosibirsk (at the V.P. Chkalov aircraft plant) will take to the air by the end of 2021. And its assembly is planned to be completed in August, after which the test stages will begin, including checking the operation of the engines and jogging along the runway of the airfield.

Earlier it was reported that the Okhotnik strike UAV could eventually acquire a flat nozzle. However, at the moment, the introduction of such technology into the second prototype of the 20-ton Russian drone no information. Recall that earlier words were also expressed about intentions to turn the Okhotnik UAV into an unmanned interceptor, arming it with air-to-air missiles.

      I don’t understand the logic, this is still a considerable cycle of tests! Isn't it time to put on any series?

        And the advertising brochure about the fourth generation, which we are preparing for the release in a month, will be much, much different from the second, which has many differences from the first, the development of which we will soon finish! wassat

            - The second sample of the strike UAV "Okhotnik" will be structurally different from the first

        And this is actually a "series". After being put into service for 10 years, two dozen "Hunters" in various modifications will be produced. And that's all. A piece and very expensive product.

        The logic here is simple - to make a high-quality UAV. And this requires lengthy tests and improvements. And not just what to start up the series. As the Americans did, launching the essentially unfinished F-35 into series, the result of this rush was, in fact, the failure of the 5th generation fighter program. You will make people laugh in a hurry. It is better to immediately bring the product to mind, modify, test it properly, and only then mass production.

          In the series, many sores of cars come to light, this cannot be avoided. Until there is at least five years of serial operation experience, the car will essentially be damp.
          On two or three prototypes, all sores cannot be identified.

        Well, what other streak before the end of the test?
        The logic is simple. First, drawings are drawn, then mock-ups are made, then test samples are built and tested, and only then the series is launched. On the contrary, nothing.

        What is there not to understand? First, they built 1 sample, tested it from all sides, made lists of comments and wishes. Now they are building a second sample, taking into account all the jambs and wishes of the customer, and they will already be testing it. And such a "cycle" will last until the "victorious end" until they receive a normal product.
        To be honest, it's still far from the series.

        In your opinion, do you need to go straight from the drawing board to the series? That's right, to hell with all sorts of tests, if you can drive semi-finished products. It is necessary to listen to couch clever people who do not understand not only logic, but also the principles of creating new technology.

          Serious differences mean either a frank marriage in the design or a separate modification of the product, and here it is necessary to make a small series for military tests of the first branch.

          Everything rests against the engine. There will be an engine for the Su-57, and the Hunter will also have it. I'm talking about a flat nozzle. The process is not going to say that quickly, but it is going on. We have always been tense with engines since the birth of aviation.

            While on trials, Izd. 30 on the Su-57 has a conventional nozzle and whether it will be flat is not clear, but for the "Okhotnik" it is necessary to have a flat one.

                  Judging by the published footage, the promising Russian heavy shock-reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle S-70 "Okhotnik" will receive a flat nozzle in the serial version. “The same product that is presented in the model, at least the conceptual appearance reflected in it, is, of course, the development of the theme of the current demonstrator model, only in a form suitable for mass production and for operation according to the tasks of the Ministry of Defense "

            The entire hundred-year history of aviation is built on the "strains with engines". As for the Hunter, he will not have product 30. As far as can be understood from the previous information, there will be another version of the Al-41, but not the cut, on which the Su-57s are now flying, but with the thrust that the Mig 1.44 wanted to give, they will only cut the afterburner, so as not to glow, well, they will cut off the deflected thrust vector, because a single-engine vehicle does not need it, plus a flat nozzle will be added, and this will probably cause some loss of thrust
