Our S-70 "Okhotnik" is an analogue of what they showed. There are similarities in the design, outwardly it is a flying wing with small tail assembly or without tail assembly at all. These models are stealthy, the Americans position them as completely invisible, but in fact, with modern technologies, it is impossible to create completely invisible aircraft and drones, because still from different angles this object can be seen in the air. Or detected by other indirect signs, by thermal trace, changes in atmospheric flows or others.

The unmanned aerial vehicle S-70 "Okhotnik" was developed on the basis of technologies and developments of the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter. These two aircraft interact during combat missions. The drone is capable of carrying various types of weapons, including guided and unguided missiles, as well as bombs.
