In the US, they create supersonic UAVs Revenant, which mimics Russian Su-57 fighters (photo)

Russia and China declare the use of jet fighters, which in their characteristics correspond to the American models F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. For many years, domestic planes such as F-16 Fighting Falcon have performed by the training goals of the US Air Force, but it is expected that the Russian Su-57 exceeds their capabilities. NATO is threatening and seeks to prepare pilots for collision with advanced hostile equipment. To do this, the US has created a supersonic exosonic revenant.

The Exosonic developer on the official site introduced a aircraft resembling an F-16 with a remote cabin, however, so far only as a computer model. Revenant is designed to simulate a two -engine fifth generation aircraft, although it has only one engine. Analysts suggest that this design is designed to reduce the weight of the aircraft. According to the developers, UAV is able to accelerate to a speed of 1. 2 mac (about 1481. 76 km/h).

The modular platform allows you to simulate various equipment used by new aircraft, such as radars with active phased antenna lattices (AESA), infrared search and tracking systems (IRST), high -speed communication channels. The project is partially classified, though it is known that it is funded by the Ministry of Defense. Exosonic promises to conduct flight tests of the drone no earlier than 2025.

At the end of December, it became known that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received a batch of Su-57 fighters. According to the Joint Aviation Corporation press service, the Aviation Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has installed new equipment for increasing production. In January, the UK intelligence noted that Russia is afraid to use SU-57 in the sky over Ukraine.
