The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will produce a pilot batch of military drones, said Yuri Slyusar, head of UAC. According to him, this is a new direction for the corporation.
There are several directions, ranging from an air-launched drone to our heavy strike airfield-based 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, flight speed is up to 1,000 km/h. During the tests, the "Okhotnik" took to the air with Su-57 and Su-30SM.
