UAV "Hunter" made its first flight in tandem with the Su-57

As noted, the "Hunter" completed a test flight in an automated mode in full configuration with access to the duty zone.

During the flight, the interaction between the drone and the “leader aircraft for expanding the radar field of the fighter” and “target designation for the use of long-range aviation weapons without entering the Su-57 into the zone of conditional anti-aircraft defense” was worked out.

“The first joint flight lasted more than 30 minutes,” the department added.

The ministry also posted test videos on its Facebook page.

In early August, the Ministry of Defense showed a video of the first flight of the “Hunter” drone. Expert Denis Fedutinov commented on Nation News’s first drone flight.

Also in August, "Hunter" first flew in tandem with a fighter - the Su-30SM.
