The Su-57 fighter will be able to carry more than 10 small UAVs in its internal compartments to suppress enemy air defenses

It confirms the information that the newest Russian Su-57 fighter can be used as a central link in network-centric operations.

First of all, we are talking about the fact that the fifth generation fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces will receive group control tools drones. According to RIA News, referring to an industry source, the Su-57 fighter will be improved in this regard. So, work has already begun on the corresponding avionics and software of the corresponding type.
The source claims that control will be carried out by a group of small UAVs.



In addition, it is noted that work is underway to create a special stand, which will be used to test the interaction of the fighter with unmanned aerial vehicles. This will allow pilots to better master the practice of this kind of interaction on the ground - in a computer simulation mode.

An important note is that small drones can be housed in the inner compartment of the Su-57. In messages RIA News it is said that such UAVs can be lifted into the air by a fighter over 10. These can be both reconnaissance and reconnaissance-strike UAVs. Moreover, the drones will be able to exchange data via special communication channels not only with the leader - the Su-57 aircraft - but also with each other, which will create a complete picture of what is happening on the ground and in the air in the area of ​​such an operation.

One of the missions is to counter enemy air defense systems. From aboard the Su-57 fighter will "go" drones that will be able to disorient the enemy's air defense. In particular, their task is to overload the channels of anti-aircraft missile systems with data, create multiple decoys, and also attack enemy air defense systems.

    The Su-57 fighter will be able to carry more than 10 small UAVs in its internal compartments to suppress enemy air defenses

    It is gratifying, of course, that the Su-57 itself may be a UAV carrier, but it would be logical to "entrust this honor" to "Hunter", who himself is "long arm Su-57", would further expand the capabilities of the system, using small UAVs to suppress air defense ...

        and here it is better to add that the series is planned for now as much as 5 pieces: 1 + 4 this year, which is more like a pilot piece production. And since 22, there is already a different engine, and this clearly confirms that the production process will still change and debug. tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/9891981

        So this is my question for the future. After all, we already have SU35 plus an order for the next series. MIG35 is also another order (I read it the other day), and SU57 for now is only doing a series, well, except for the first one sent. So for the mass scale, after working out this option for the 57th, you can also use the "little brothers", because avionics with all the minced meat in 35x of both design bureaus plus / minus is identical to the "five".

      A very interesting thought about an additional option for the 57th.


      The idea is interesting. I agree. But who will control these drones? Fighter pilot? Several at the same time? Who will fly the plane? Assess the situation, fly a plane, control weapons, control drones, and what the hell knows what, and all this is one pilot? Serpent-Gorynych can and will cope. Three heads, after all.
      Those who offer to stuff a fighter with anything possible never sat at the helm, they did not conduct an air battle.
      All this requires a separate operator. And it will no longer be a fighter.

        Why manage? The pilot set the target, then the swarm flies by itself, defining in the situation, in principle, the problem was solved a very long time ago - the swarm of anti-ship missiles "Granit", computer and other technologies have grown a little since 1969-1975, the years of development of the P-700

          swarm of anti-ship missiles "Granite"


          Well, you compared ....
          Granite was launched by not just one pilot, but a whole crew. In which everyone performed some function. And here are a dozen small drones. The key here is "small". There is no "AI" anywhere. One pilot cannot control the swarm. And the range of small drones is also short. What the hell can you destroy enemy air defenses with them? Their speed is also low. And the air defense still needs to be discovered. And it is still air defense, not a target in the shooting range.

          If only against the natives with the barmaley. Their carts and tents. And no air defense. But why fence a garden for this? Are the bombs out? Or an online pilot will be able to direct these devices with a joystick? Vet is the same UAV, which means the ability to fly for a while. Will the fighter pilot have some time? I doubt it.

        We are not leaking anything to anyone. The army of "Artsakh" fought in Karabakh. What to take, if even Armenia, in addition to a certain amount of equipment, did not dare to completely enter the conflict. And they fought with Azerbaijan, which seemed to have more opportunities than Armenia, financially, and technologically, thanks to the alliance with Turkey (I'm 99% sure that the planning of the entire operation, and of course the management of all the drones was theirs ) and Israeli drones.
        Yes, at that moment we did not have such drummers, but now we do. And that doesn't mean we didn't have anything to stop them. Here questions are more of a political plan, in a military one, with all the desire, they would have finished in a week.

    This is certainly good, but maybe specialized media were more useful in such a case? Well, yes, they are not, but I think there are no problems to develop. And there will be much more than a su57 can take.
    Should such an aircraft be fitted to a drone carrier? And the very function of gaining air superiority will go to whom? It was developed for this.
    Well, let's say the internal compartments are "stuffed" with drones. Air surface. What to do when meeting an enemy in the air? You can't lean back with drones ... Rockets Air, air under the wings? But this reduces ammunition, removes all stealth efforts (you will be discovered earlier). That is, it completely changes its application.
