Pilots piloting fighter jets will take over the function of controlling drones. Drones will be an important part of the wars of the future, and a significant role in this belongs to the Russian S-70 "Hunter".


Popular Science military columnist Kelsey Atherton came to this conclusion. He writes that when Russia puts into service heavy attack drones S-70, despite the fact that the attacked targets will be chosen by the pilots of the Su-57, the bombs will drop drones. "The use of a combat drone to increase the power and visibility limits of a fighter while maintaining the pilot's decision-making is spreading more and more in the military sphere," he writes.

Recall, the United Aircraft Corporation previously stated that the "Hunter" will hit targets in the framework of network-centric interaction with the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter. Despite the fact that the command will be assigned to a manned vehicle, the drone will be able to solve a full range of tasks.

The author of the publication says that the tandem Su-57 and Su-70 is the first of its kind in the Russian army. And this pair alone could potentially replace the manned squadrons. This will lead to the fact that Russia will change the tactics of using aviation both at the tactical and strategic level .

The military expert emphasizes that the "Hunter" can carry more weapons than its American "counterpart" -the modular reconnaissance and strike drone MQ-9 Reaper. He mentions the tests of the "Hunter" in January of this year, during which the possibility of hitting targets with high-precision ammunition was confirmed.

By the end of this decade, there may be robot squads that will work under human supervision and automatically scan targets below. And then check with the pilot before using weapons, the expert concludes.
