An short article on Sputnik mentioned the possibility of using the Okhotnik as guards for the PAK-DA.

then they can carry EM guns but need long range radar too. Ultimately they might take AAM destined for PAK-DA

c'mon it is cute drone
As for radar comportment. Su-57 has radar "all over the fuselage" so Okhotnik can have too, not necessarily small in terms of capabilities.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
Supersonic drone but used mainly to escape threats for short distances thanks to afterburners. 5000km autonomy so 2500 km max range.
Mig and yak also worked on drones but they didn't produce them.
Sukhoi working on that because they finished su-57.
Can carry same load of weapon as su-57 since it has the same weapon bays so 4 kh-58/38 or guided bombs. It also shares lot of tech from it like its landing gear that should be however be lighter.
Big bird of 25 tonnes take off weight.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
I am happy I have been proven right , this thing is Supersonic.
If this can go Mach 1,14 at low altitude with AB at high altitude this can go even faster.
I had debated this on many forum only to get answer this wing cant go supersonic , Even a brick can go supersonic if it has enough thrust.

Effective target discrimination and target prioritization is a big fat if without human input. This task aka its automation shouldn't be left to a drone. If a single-seater pilot is controlling more than 2 drones the workload will overwhelm him more than likely.
now? very likely but mind that even now most of flight functions can be and are automated. Su-57 AFAIK c an l and/take off in unmanned mode. Tech is developing pretty nicely and in 10 rather then 15 years unmanned aircraft should be reality.

perhaps a lowest priority drone takes the rocket (or shoots it with DEW weapon) . Why would you assume you cannot teach drones to fight?

thats a French educated guess so far , nothing official yet. Let's assume it is then 1,400 km/h migh be to accompany Su-57

I am relying on PiBu word does not matter if he write for Fench magazine or English one like Air INternational
PiBu is one of the very few not more than 2-3 who is reliable on russian defence matters that does not mean he is infallible
I figured out from the Engine nozzle being kept out would be for just 2 reasons , Use of TVC and use of AB.

For those that have bothered to read and translate the article does it mention the source of this information... is it in bold and part of the headlines... the Russians don't have a long history of flying wing designs and here there is a claim they have managed to make a supersonic flying wing...
One of the things that makes the proposed flying wing design of the PAK DA be considered subsonic is because there are no supersonic flying wing designs and that is because of control issues.
In terms of supercruising its very low drag should be ideal, but lack of tail surfaces to allow controlled flight during transonic flight when the cg shifts dramatically suggests that if you could accelerate to supersonic speeds, the loss of control and subsequent crash would mean it was not worth it.
Perhaps they can compensate for the cg movement using a TVC engine nozzle...
If this can go Mach 1,14 at low altitude with AB at high altitude this can go even faster.
I would want confirmation from the developer of the UAV first... PB is usually pretty reliable... but this is more of a leap forward than a supersonic VSTOL fighter...
If the PAK DA could supercruise then that would transform its performance potential enormously too.
wrong, looks like we're already there. From 2016 so 3 years go
AI shoots down expert pilot in simulator
Well Duh... in the early 1990s, I played a computer game called F-15 in which I flew aircraft against AI controlled planes and they were almost unbeatable... now I am not a pilot, but the idea that an AI controlled aircraft cannot dogfight is proven wrong... however what sort of performance an AI could achieve and what limits do you apply... and what happens when an AI fighter UCAV shoots down a civilian airliner... or strafes a train or car on the motorway...
Coordination with other forces is another issue... how do you stop it shooting down other friendly aircraft... and the signals used to confirm identity... what if the enemy copies them... or worse... jams them so your UCAV thinks everyone is the enemy because none are responding correctly...
but why? we got Isos here and he's also for free
Expand your access to the world by knocking down the language barriers...
Plus something Lsos reads might not be of interest to him so he might not mention or discuss it... you might find it fascination... their might be something in there about STOVL carrier aircraft... being cancelled....

So the estimated weight is heavier than a rather bigger Su-35, but it has half the thrust in having just one engine.
It is very low drag, but it is hardly over powered...

It is written 5000km autonomy which means ferry range. So it should have 2500km range .
But I think he gave this number so that we can compare with drones of the same type. I doubt he has such information.
but why? we got Isos here and he's also for free

Yep definitly being canceled... just like they should cancel any vtol project
For those that have bothered to read and translate the article does it mention the source of this information.
No source. It is in the square with basic caracteristics. Like I said he seems to give that number to put the drone in the class of big and long endurence drones. Nothing official.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
Of course, a fat plane with huge endurance and payload that is supersonic and highly manoeuvrable would be great. Even better if it is cheap and stealth. Reality shows we have different planes for different roles and not only one wonderplane for all of them.GunshipDemocracy wrote:to keep up with Su-57 on supercruise mode ( both drone and Su) ? or perhps stealth strikes wont be the only area of applicationLMFS wrote:That possibility was being discussed.

So, still not convinced this thing can be supersonic or that it really makes sense for it to be. Look the wing of a supercruiser like the Su-57, its profile has nothing to do with the one from Okhotnik.
There were comments about a supersonic strike drone, so maybe a confusion comes from here. Or maybe I am wrong, perfectly possible too!

sounds logical but IMHO
a) wingman ekhm wing-robot for Su-57 doesn't have to be fighter yet speed doesnt contradict its shape. Mind all tailless fighter designs.
b) of course A&C speculates, perhaps izd. 30 could be the origin?

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
I refer specifically to a wing which has high aspect ratio (ca. 19 m wingspan) and relative thickness, this is the wing of a subsonic plane with very high lift and fuel carrying capability. It would IMHO create very big transonic drag, so I even doubt a single engine, even with AB, could bring this plane beyond sound barrier. Stated speed at low altitude is the same of for instance MiG-29, with way higher T/W and more aerodynamic design... so this part of the report doesn't look realistic to me.GunshipDemocracy wrote:a) wingman ekhm wing-robot for Su-57 doesn't have to be fighter yet speed doesnt contradict its shape. Mind all tailless fighter designs.
As to controllability in supersonic flight without keels, newer designs rely as far as I know in (fluidic) TVC, so quite new technology. I don't know any supersonic flying wing which is operative, but don't discuss whether this is possible or not.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
The suggestion that Russia will use this drone to suppliment numbers so its Su-57s and these drones could take on NATO on even terms is amusing.... I don't doubt this drone might be useful in such a situation but I also suspect Su-35s and MiG-35s and MiG-31s and MiG-41s would also be very useful in such a conflict... just because the west is getting rid of all their 4th gen fighters does not mean Russia will... and indeed by using the S-70 as a drone fighter they are basically already using 6th gen fighters now are they not?

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
The only part of this video I could agree with is that UCAVS will or could occupy the lower side of a hi-low mix, and that would not 100% apply since manned and unmanned would complement each other differently than for instance heavy and light fighters do. But I agree and have said previously that a mix of UCAVs for different roles and Su-57 could make a new light fighter unnecessary.
The rest I found it simply off the mark:
> They call a plane with almost 20 m wingspan "small and cheap", and display it significantly smaller than PAK-FA in the infographics to suit their point. Well, Su-57 is 14 m wide, to make a comparison... and the TO weight has been volumetrically estimated at >25 T. Small and cheap my arse!
> They refer AL-41F as too big for the Su-57 and being used in Okhotnik. From what I know the engine in the Okhotnik is not that old engine but the newer version. Besides to my understanding the old version of AL-41F does not really exist as a product anymore...
> They assume a plane this size, with this aero design can be not only supersonic but a supercruiser, with only one engine and like 50% more wingspan than Su-57. The later needs the newer izd. 30 to be an effective supercruiser and yet Okhotnik is supposed to match it with half the thrust and much more transonic drag???? This is simply absurd
> They call this plane, whose design does not allow it to be fast or nimble, to a complement of the Su-57 in the AD role. That makes no sense to me. An UCAV appropriate for that role would look like this, not like Okhotnik:
@Hole: agree, in Russia air force is a complement of SAMs and not the other way around. They don't need to overwhelm NATO with their fighter numbers, just wait for Western planes to try to come close. That plus planes like MiG-31, which are almost impossible to engage for NATO, attacking critical assets like ISR planes and blunting air raids would be enough of a roadblock for Western air superiority.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
The drone seems to lack radar. So air to air missions are not a mission it will have. I see it like a bomb/missile truck. Su-57 will tell him where and when to hit and it will most of the time release the weapon controled by the su-57.
For anti radar, su-57 will find the air def radar stay at good distance and tell the drine to go on it at full speed qnd release ARM missiles.
For bombing, su-57 will carry a laser pods or give the gps coordinates and the drone will release the bombs.
For air to air, most likely it will be used for r-37 carrier. Su-57 will track at long range the AWACS and the drone will accelerate towards it and launch the missiles.
Su-57 will carry only air to air missiles and protect himself and the drone from air threats and maintain superiority.
The drone has nothing of a 6th gen fighter. It is clearly not designed for air to air. But rather air to ground controled by the su-57. It cab also work by its own for bombing missions like launching cruise missiles on static targets but if it get caught by a f-22 or 35 and no su-57 protects it, it's dead meat.

Re: S-70 "Okhotnik" UCAV
damn it isos addressed just above some my points but radar remains - no big rdr? perish but on KRET expo coupel of yers bo this seemed to have all-around antennas/sensors
@LMFS S-70 drone is not cheap as dirt but easily cheaper than Su-57 fighter.
a)you dont spend time/money on training (both intl and 200h/year flight) pilots - hour of flight forSu-30MKI is ~$14,000, I dont think in Russia it is cheaper, especially for Su-57.
You save 200hrs per year - $300,000. 10 years -$3,000,000
b) izd 30 doesn't have to be about super-cruise. It's fuel efficient so just greater then any other engine thus range increases significantly
c) AFAIK Russians say it is 20tons drone vs 35tons MTOW Su-57 so yes it is lighter
Below my original unsent post before isos/LMFS posted theirs so you dont loose my genial remarks
GarryB wrote:The suggestion that Russia will use this drone to suppliment numbers so its Su-57s and these drones could take on NATO on even terms is amusing....

1) I dont think S-70 is gonna replace any MiG-35 or Su-35/30 fighters. As you dont replace apples with oranges on your table
S-70 being wing-drone doesnt mean it is going to perform maneuverable fighter function. It doesnt hve to
2) S-70 can be perform strike/recon/missile truck roles - what is the difference if slow drone fires BVR missile and rest takes over Su-57 autopilot? or Su-57 itself?
It can also carry internally aa od ag missiles so Su-57 doesn't have. + the whole team remains stealth for strike mission.
3) S-70 doesn't have to fly 20m form su57. Can be couple of kms & drone can fly following terrain nd Su-57 higher
4) drone can use EM gun for team self-defense - KRET once said EM wont be carried by manned aircraft. To big danger apparently for pilot.
Im not saying Im right here but this is how I see this opportunity.

It does not need radar to launch A2A missiles with targeting info coming from any other node in the network.
I think the Su will cover it and help coordinating or relaying the targeting info to it. But it should stay as far as possible from the front, its high speed and range should allow it to offer cover from above. And in the future, probably an A2A drone should appear, to go offensive on enemy planes
Yes, I just found tone of the video misleading. This will be an expensive machine.Gunship wrote:@LMFS S-70 drone is not cheap as dirt but easily cheaper than Su-57 fighter.
To me the main issue is about pilots of modern planes not being replaceable in war conditions. It is not anymore about piloting, it is about managing very complex weapons systems in complex informational environments so you need many years of training and high intellectual capability to cope with the tasks. UCAVS can be sent where you wouldn't dare sending pilots and get the task done, regardless of the plane surviving or not, which allows you to be much more aggressive and effective. Plus of course, they will operate all the same without need of training and many other advantages we already discussed.a)you dont spend time/money on training (both intl and 200h/year flight) pilots - hour of flight forSu-30MKI is ~$14,000, I dont think in Russia it is cheaper, especially for Su-57.
But it is, among other things, about supercruise. This has been confirmed by Russian sources.b) izd 30 doesn't have to be about super-cruise. It's fuel efficient so just greater then any other engine thus range increases significantly
I remind that we don't have official weight figures for any of both. Last estimations for Okhotnik, considering 2.8 tons payload, are 27-28 tons TO weight. Just look at the size of the thing compared to the tractor vs. Su-34 in same conditions. The plane is simply huge.c) AFAIK Russians say it is 20tons drone vs 35tons MTOW Su-57 so yes it is lighter
