In Ukraine, the Russian UAP C-70 "Hunting" could be confused for the first time: what experts say (video)

According to some observers, the reactive drone was destroyed by the Russian Su-57 fighter, as control over UAV management was lost. On October 5, an air battle was recorded in the sky above Konstantinovka of Donetsk region, which resulted in the shot of the Russian aircraft. Initially, it was assumed that it was a Su-25 assault or Su-34 bomber. However, some experts talk about the lesions of the Russian jet drone C-70 "hunting".

For example, the Monitor's profile channel, which tracks the enemy's aviation, first provided both versions and then clarified that it was still about lesions of the Russian UAV C-70. "It is believed that it was the Russian reactive UAV C-70" hunting ", a kind of 20-meter prodivafl. The military-political observer of the "Information Resistance" group Alexander Kovalenko also wrote about the destruction of the "hunter".

According to him, it was the first beaten Russian reconnaissance and reconnaissance UAV C-70. The Officer of the Israeli Defense Army and the editor of Fokus Igal Levin's website gives details of the incident. He noted that probably "hunting" was hit by the newest Russian Su-57 fighter. "Maybe there was a loss of management, and the pilot was afraid that the insidious Ukrainians would take the heavyweight to their home, and decided to personally finish a potential traitor," - writes the observer.

Interestingly familiar with the opinion of the enemy. So the presenter of the profile Russian Publick Fighterbomber Ilya Tumanov wrote that the C-70 was lost allegedly during the trials. And the fact that it was a "hunting room", not a combat aircraft, indicates a special color of the aircraft. Now Tumanov is in a hurry that Ukrainian experts "will disassemble" fallen drowning and will be acquainted with "its rich internal content".

The UAV was destroyed because the Russians lost their control over their own apparatus. Created by P. O. Dry, UAV C-70 remains the object of increased interest. Despite limited official data, its basic parameters are known: length - 14 m, wingspan - 19 m, runway - 25 tons. The combat load varies in data, from 2. 8 to 8 tons, although the last estimate is probably exaggerated. The most striking characteristics include a ceiling of 18 km and a flight range of about 6000 km.

A standalone flight time exceeds 24 hours, and the maximum speed can reach 1400 km/h, which removes "hunting" to the level of supersonic apparatus unique to drones of this type. Comparison with American counterparts, such as the X-47 "Pegasus", shows a clear advantage "hunting". With similar sizes, American UAV has less speed - 535 km/h, range - 3900 km and ceiling - 12 km. The US program was closed in 2018.

One of the main advantages of Russian UAV is on-board radio electronic equipment (Breo), which includes: weapons C-70 covers managed missiles, bombs planning, such as the cassette bomb "Drill", and rockets for air combat, such as x- 74m2, as well as anti-radiolocation missiles X-58 to suppress air defense. This UAV works in a connection with the SU-57 and is able to perform both intelligence missions and strikes with available weapons.
