It became known about the tests of missile weapons of the Russian UAV "Okhotnik".

Tested a few weeks ago for the use of air-to-air missiles, the Russian attack unmanned aerial vehicle Okhotnik, according to a RIA Novosti source in the aviation industry, will conduct a series of tests using its missile weapons against ground and air targets - tests, According to sources, they are scheduled for 2021, and, according to some reports, in the spring the Okhotnik strike UAV will work out strikes against ground targets, and in the second half of the year, the drone will be tested in intercepting air targets.

“The first missile launches from the Okhotnik UAV are planned for the second half of 2021. We are talking about firing with in-body air-to-air missiles, which were previously tested on the Su-57. Launches on real air targets are provided "- приводит information source "RIA Novosti".

Today, the Russian heavy attack UAV S-70 "Okhotnik" is considered a promising combat vehicle capable of protecting friendly air targets and escorting unarmed aircraft, including, presumably, strategic bombers, which is especially important after information appeared that the crew of the Tu-95 bomber worked out the control of a certain drone.
