Russia may have started operating its S-70 Okhotnik heavy-strike stealth drone against Ukraine. Based on photographs of the drone flying in the Ukrainian skies published by Ukrainian telegram channels, Turkish media first reported the use of the drone in the Sumy region.
The drone is speculated to have struck military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Sumy region.”
On the afternoon of June 27, the Ukrainian media reported explosions in Sumy and Kremenchuk, Poltava region.
Report Credibility
A photograph, purportedly of the drone flying over Ukraine, posted on Mash Telegram Channel conforms to the shape and size of the Okhotnik (Hunter).
At least two Okhotnik drones are known to be undergoing flight testing.
In June 2022, Janes reported, quoting RIA Novosti, that the S-70B Okhotnik had conducted its first test launch of precision-guided munitions (PGMs) against ground targets on May 28, 2022. The drone had launched air-to-surface missiles developed for the manned Sukhoi Su-57
Janes reported that the missile was likely the Kh-59Mk2 standoff cruise missile, a development of the Kh-59-series heavy tactical missile that entered service in the early 1980s.
Kh-59Mk2 range and payload estimates vary widely, but it’s likely to be able to reach targets at least 150 miles away while carrying a 500lb warhead. The modular nature of the design may allow for multiple configurations, such as larger fuel sections, to be swapped for smaller warhead sections.
Izvestia reported in February 2020 that the Grom (Thunder) 9-A-7759 glide bomb had been integrated with the Okhotnik. The drone can carry four Groms in its internal bomb bay.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (RuMoD) has not commented on the report.
