Russia's large stealth attack drone, Okhotnik, is expected to go into mass production in 2024

The S-70 is designated as the 'loyal wing' of the fifth-generation Su-57 Felon fighter

According to information shared on Russian social networks on January 29, 2024, Russia is expected to start serial production of the S-70 'Okhotnik' (Hunter) strategic bomber later this year in the Novosibirsk region.

Lieutenant Governor Sergei Semka announced that the Novosibirsk Aviation Factory, a subsidiary of Rostec's Sukhoi Company, is preparing to start serial production of the Okhotnik heavy unmanned aerial vehicle in the second half of 2024.

Sukhoi Company has been diligently developing Russia's inaugural heavy attack drone, the S-70 Okhotnik, since 2011. The project reached a milestone with the first experimental prototype flying on August 3, 2019, followed by a subsequent model with a flat jet nozzle, designed to reduce the radar signature, emerging from the Novosibirsk aircraft factory in December 2021.

Series production will focus on the heavy reconnaissance and attack UAV, designated as the S-70 "Okhotnik-B". Several prototypes are currently in the final stages of comprehensive testing, with particular emphasis on optimizing the weapons control system software. Production models are expected to have a narrow section nozzle, aiming to achieve a reduction of 2 to 2.5 times in the infrared signature and a marginal decrease in the effective reflective surface at the back of the UAV.

All S-70 vehicles are programmed to be equipped with terminals for the exchange of tactical information and telecode information through secure radio communication channels of the KDL-I type (0.96 - 1.25 GHz). This technology is designed to allow the operation of UAVs under the control of Su-30SM2 and Su-57 crews. The range of the communication channel is projected between 350 and 450 km, allowing these multifunctional fighter crews to deploy the S-70 as "unmanned wings" without the need for manned vehicles to enter the enemy's anti-access/anti-aircraft (A2/D2) zones and the fighter maneuver zones.

The S-70 Okhotnik, with a 14-meter fuselage and a 19-meter wingspan, is comparable to the MiG-29, has a take-off weight of up to 25 tons, including combat load of up to 3 tons.

Although the composition of the 3-ton combat cargo remains uncertain, the initial studies of the project suggested a wide range of guided aerial weapons, from anti-aircraft missiles to tactical aviation cruise missiles. The aircraft allegedly has internal weapon compartments similar to those of the Su-57 fighter, allowing the use of weapons beyond the visual range, including R-77M air-to-air missiles and Kh-59MK2 air-surface missiles capable of avoiding radar detection. However, at the end of 2020, Russia announced plans to use Okhotnik to launch unguided aerial bombs.
