The Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B is a heavy Russian stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) designed to operate alongside the Su-57 fighter jet as a "loyal wingman." It features a flying-wing design with a wingspan of approximately 20 meters (65 feet) and a maximum takeoff weight of 25,000 kg (55,000 lbs).
Regarding its performance capabilities:
Speed: The drone has a maximum speed of approximately 1,000 km/h (620 mph), which is subsonic.
Range: It boasts an operational range of 6,000 km (3,700 miles), with a combat radius estimated between 3,000 and 4,000 km.
Developed by Sukhoi and MiG, the S-70 carries up to 2,800 kg of munitions in internal bays to maintain its stealth profile. Although first flown in 2019, the program has faced challenges, including the loss of a prototype in 2024, and it remains in development rather than mass production
The S-70 Okhotnik-B coordinates with the Su-57 through a leader-follower (manned-unmanned teaming) architecture:
The S-70 flies ahead of the Su-57 into contested airspace to scout, designate targets, and suppress enemy air defenses (SEAD), while the manned jet stays at a safe standoff distance.
Performance: It has a range of 500 km, a maximum speed of 620–700 km/h, and carries an OFBCh-150 warhead weighing approximately 114–150 kg.
Maneuverability: The missile is distinguished by its ability to execute tighter turns than traditional Russian cruise missiles like the Kh-101 or Kalibr, enhancing its ability to evade air defense systems.
Launch Platforms: Primarily launched from the Kronshtadt Orion UAV and Mi-28N attack helicopters, Russia has also developed a ground-based launcher (circa July 2026) to increase deployment flexibility.
Cost and Production: Estimated at $50,000–$100,000 per unit, serial production reportedly began in July 2026 with an estimated capacity of 80 missiles per month.
The missile's reliance on imported commercial parts, such as Murata batteries and Silicon Laboratories chips, allows Russia to bypass sanctions constraints, though it also creates a visible supply chain vulnerability.
It can now combine with the Okhotnik and the SU-5t.
(Vectors are additive, the speed of the missile is added to the speed of the drone that launches it.)
(The Kinzhal.is launched from a Mach 2 jet. It digs a hole 98 feet deep where its target used to be.)

Damn!
(THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS FOR A STATE THAT WILL BE HIT WITH THE WORST EL NINO SINCE

DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THE GREATER POPULATION. BUT 57 DAMS IN BAD SHAPE IS BAD NEWS.
I HAVE RELATIVES THERE. I TOLD THEM TO LEAVE. )
