Russia finalizes a heavy shock drone C-70 "hunting": Modernization details

The drone should be obtained by a new AL-51F1 engine, which is designed to increase the flight range and allow you to tolerate more amounts. Russian aircraft designers are working on the modernization of a heavy shock drone C-70 "Hunter". The device will be equipped with a new AL-51F1 engine, reports Army Recognition.

This modern turboven unit is intended to increase the range, maneuverability and efficiency of the drone, as well as enhance its interaction with the Su-57, fifth-generation stealth fighter. The complex integration of these systems is aimed at ensuring the air advantage of the Russian army. The integration of AL-51F1 on C-70 "Hunter" will increase the flight range and allow you to tolerate more amount of amount.

This will expand the possibility of a drone in intelligence, strikes and long -term operations. At the same time, the observers claim that the SU-57 also wins from the introduction of AL-51F1 in shock UAVs. In connection with the "hunter" the fighter will effectively combine the actions of manned and unmanned platforms, creating flexibility and accuracy on the battlefield.

The AL-51F1 engine was developed taking into account new requirements for military aviation: the authors of the material noted that Russia and the USA are developing similar approaches to the integration of UAVs with manned aircraft. The Russian system C-70 "Hunter" and Su-57 competes with the American NGAD program, which includes Loyal Wingman drones. Both programs are aimed at the use of synergy between platforms to ensure air dominance.
