purchases of "hunter" will be included in the state armament program for 2024-2033

Moscow. December 16. INTERFAX-Serial deliveries to the troops of strike drones "Hunter "will begin in 2024, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission (MIC) of Russia Andrey Yelchaninov said in an interview with Interfax.

"The drone has shown performance, is being tested. What is flying now is a technology demonstrator and a prototype drone, which should be delivered to the troops from 2024, " Yelchaninov said.

According to him, serial purchases of the "Hunter" will be included in the next state armament program for 2024-2033, on the formation of which both the Ministry of Defense and the Board of the Military-Industrial Complex of the Russian Federation are already working.

Yelchaninov noted that during the joint tests of the Hunter with the fifth-generation Su - 57 fighter, the mutual transfer of information between the aircraft is being worked out-the redistribution of targets in flight, maintaining intervals and distances, performing anti-missile maneuvers.

In the future, the pilot of the su-57 would be able to allocate tasks in a group of drones and to organize the work of the so-called "swarm" using artificial intelligence, said the first Deputy Chairman of the Board of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation.

"This is one of the possible images that potentially says that human life is always higher and more expensive. And the possibility of a single human brain is much higher than the totality of a set of computing machines, " Yelchaninov said.

As reported by Interfax, the company" Sukhoi "is working on the creation of Russia's first heavy attack drone of long flight duration-S-70 "Hunter". On August 3, 2019, it took to the skies for the first time.

According to open data, its take-off weight is 20 tons, which makes it the heaviest of the currently developed drones. The dimensions of the "Hunter" (length - 19 m, wingspan - 14 m) are comparable to the parameters of the Su-57. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the combat load of the "Hunter" is 6 tons, the flight range is about 6 thousand km, and the altitude is 18 km.

At the end of September 2019, the military reported that the Hunter took off for the first time in a fully automated mode and worked out interaction with the Su-57 leader aircraft "to expand the radar field of the fighter and target designation for the use of long-range aviation weapons without entering the Su-57 zone of conditional air defense counteraction."

On December 15, Yelchaninov was appointed to a new position - the first deputy chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial complex. Previously, he was one of the members of the board, supervised aviation issues.
