The Su-57 fighter, which is in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces, will receive a group of mini-drones for various purposes. The drones will be placed on external hardpoints and in a compartment inside the fuselage, according to an informed source.
According to the source, the Su-57 pilot will be able to drop drones and control them directly in the air. We are talking about strike, reconnaissance drones and drones that perform the functions of electronic warfare systems.
