S-71M "Monokhrom" is a stealthy, air-launched unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Russia's Sukhoi for use with the Su-57 stealth fighter and S-70 Okhotnik-B drone. It functions as a semi-autonomous loitering munition, capable of searching, detecting, and engaging moving targets using electro-optical and thermal imaging sensors for day and night operations. The system can operate with an operator in the loop for target validation or switch to fully autonomous mode if the datalink is lost.
Key features include:
Stealth design with a trapezoidal fuselage, foldable swept wings, and inverted V-shaped tail for low radar cross-section (estimated 0.007–0.01 m²).
Powered by a TRDD-50 turbofan engine, enabling speeds up to Mach 0.6 (approx. 730–950 km/h) and altitudes up to 8,000 meters.
Can be carried internally in the Su-57’s weapons bay or externally on the S-70 Okhotnik.
Equipped with modular warheads, including high-explosive fragmentation and shaped-charge options.
Uses digital inertial navigation with GLONASS/GPS correction, radar altimeter, and optoelectronic correlation for precision targeting.
The S-71M began captive-carry trials in April 2024 and has since been approved for mass production. Reports from early 2026 indicate it may have been used operationally, including against Ukrainian HIMARS systems. Its deployment significantly extends the Su-57’s reach into contested airspace without risking pilot lives

The U.S. Mint obviously expects the price of silver to keep rising. When I first learned that the U.S. Mint was selling one ounce silver coins for 169 dollars, I thought that it must be a mistake. So I went to the U.S. Mint’s official website, and sure enough the report that I had heard was accurate. Of course the U.S. Mint always sells their coins at a premium, but this is ridiculous. Are they expecting the price of silver to blow way past the $100 mark in 2026? If so, that will cause enormous imbalances in the global financial system. There have been repeated attempts to suppress the price of silver in recent weeks, but they have all failed. A global scramble for physical silver is underway, and the paper games that were once so effective just aren’t working anymore.
Last week, the U.S. Mint suspended sales of silver coins temporarily so that they could update the prices.
Everyone knew that sizable price hikes were coming, but nobody was prepared for the colossal price increases that were ultimately unveiled…
