| Russia’s Okhotnik |
Looks like Russia’s Okhotnik, or Hunter, unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) is getting ready to hunt.
Officially known as URBK, or Udarno-Razvedyvatelnyi Bespilotnyi Kompleks in Russian, in turn which in English become, Strike-Reconnaissance Unmanned Complex, the UCAV has been in development for years by Russian aircraft design house Sukhoi leading the project.
The photo that appeared on Russia’s top social media site VK shows a flying wing UCAV on an icy runway. It appears and dwarfs a large snow plow tractor that is pulling it. Although shorter in length and significantly longer in wingspan. Its dimensions appear to be close to Northrop Grumman’s X-47B, if not larger. The X-47B was roughly 38 feet long with a 62 foot wingspan.
