Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko compared the S-70 Hunter strike unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with foreign analogues. He said that the Russian development surpasses the development of competitors. This is reported by Interfax .
"Advanced achievements of enterprises and organizations of the domestic defense industrial complex are concentrated in the UAV, which made it possible to provide functionality that is not inferior, but in a number of parameters surpassing the few foreign analogues," the deputy minister told reporters during a working trip to Novosibirsk.
Krivoruchko noted that it is impossible to assemble the Hunter from the components available on the market. According to him, the production of a drone requires a developed aviation industry.
