The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will produce a pilot batch of military drones, according to UAC head Yuri Slyusar. He said this is a new direction for the corporation.
There are several areas, ranging from air-launched drones to our heavy airfield-based strike drone
The head of the corporation emphasized that, in accordance with the contract, UAC manufactured flight models, conducted tests, and is now starting to create a pilot batch. Slyusar expressed hope that UAC drones will take a worthy place in the line of Russian drones.
Earlier, the Sukhoi Design Bureau, which is part of UAC, developed the "Okhotnik" drone according to the "flying wing" scheme. The aircraft has a reduced radar signature. Its take-off weight is 20 tons, and its flight speed is up to 1,000 km/h. During testing, the "Okhotnik" took to the air with Su-57 and Su-30SM.
