Izd.85.
Now, could one wonder how can they fit 2tons payload on a plane with 7tons MTOW?
And most interesting thing: how will they drop them?
I see two hatches alongside but they are absolutely too small.
Kratos has not a landing gear but Grom is way heavier and seems to have a full size radar on the nose so maybe they are just the wheel hatches.

I guess the 2 ton payload is an upper bound for very short range operations. But even a 1 ton payload is damn impressive for a wingman drone.
These days a 1 ton bomb can do a lot compared to WWII.

The upper image calls that weapon the Kh-50 which is strange... I thought the Kh-50 was supposed to be a cruise missile... perhaps that is its seeker?

Don't pass this off as official specifications. It is somebody's BS estimates on social media.
