Rostec Will Not Focus on Producing the S-70 Okhotnik UAV with a Reactive Nozzle for the Su-57 Fighter

The State Corporation Intends to Increase Serial Production of Other Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Rostec intends to focus on increasing the production of a limited number of drone models, which will improve reliability and reduce the price of serial products. This was announced by the managing director of the state corporation for science and technology, Yuri Koptel.

We have formed a commission that will deal with issues of coordination and interaction of our holdings in order to reach a limited range of drones, but with huge industrial output. This will reduce the price, increase reliability and allow for normal operation.
Yuri Koptel, Managing Director of Rostec

According to him, in recent years Rostec has come to the conclusion that special attention should be paid to drones.

Previously, our attention was focused on the work on the large strategic drone "Okhotnik", which can work in tandem with the Su-57. Life has shown that we should not limit ourselves to this.
Yuri Koptel, Managing Director of Rostec

The S-70 Okhotnik drone, developed in the Sukhoi Design Bureau, is made according to the "flying wing" scheme using "stealth" technology, which reduces its radar signature.

  • Take-off weight — 25 t
