| [REGNUM] A new model of the S-70 Okhotnik heavy strike unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a new engine equipped with a flat nozzle will be released for flight tests in the summer of 2022, the Izvestia newspaper reports on January 24, citing sources in the aircraft industry. According to the source, flight tests of the largest and most powerful Russian UAV should begin in July this year. Recall that the previous sample of the S-70 Okhotnik UAV in 2019 was first tested in the sky in cooperation with the fifth generation Su-57 fighter. In December 2021, the Chkalov Novosibirsk Aviation Plant (NAZ) rolled out the first sample of the S-70 Okhotnik with a flat jet engine nozzle, which makes the drone invisible to enemy radars. According to some reports, the S-70 Okhotnik heavy attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be adopted by the Russian army in 2024. |
