Drone to be launched from Su-57 would have already been developed

The idea would be to launch a swarm of drones from the Russian fifth-generation fighter.

The fifth-generation Su-57 fighter will have in the near future the ability to use mini-drones that the aircraft will carry on board. Mini-UAVs have already been created for various purposes, which can be placed both at an external fixed point and in the internal compartment and then launched into the air.

The fighter will launch a group of drones at once and control them, informs the agencyRIA Novosti.

The mini-UAV has the direct task of carrying out attack operations, performing reconnaissance and electronic suppression of enemy attack weapons. The launch of dozens of drones by a group of Su-57 will provide a breakthrough in air defense, overloading their information channels and reaching air defense systems both with the help of drones and with their own means of destruction.

In recent years, the development of unmanned technology, both in the civil and military fields, has grown at a rapid pace. In November 2021, Viktor Kladov, Director of International Cooperation and Regional Policy at Rostec State Corporation, said that as early as the next decade, manned combat aircraft will be gradually replaced by unmanned drones. This is due not only to the technological advantages of drones, but also to their ability to work in collaboration with other drones and manned aircraft.

The state-owned company is actively developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) capable of exchanging information and collaborating with Checkmate and Su-57. This opens up new perspectives for the creation of the so-called "drone swarm" - a concept in which several drones work together to perform different tasks in combat conditions.

A Su-57 fighter will be able to carry more than a dozen reconnaissance and attack drones and unmanned electronic warfare systems in the internal compartment of the fuselage. The UAVs will interact through secure communication channels both with the on-board complex of the carrier aircraft and with each other. One of the main advantages of this approach is the ability to effectively carry out complex missions that were previously inaccessible to combat aircraft. A swarm of drones can perform reconnaissance, attack targets, maintain air superiority and perform other tactical missions.

Previously, the Federal Intellectual Property Service issued the RU2807624 patent to the United Aircraft Corporation for a two-seat multifunctional aircraft for use as an air control center and ensuring interaction between aviation and military formations with network-centric methods to control weapons objects on the battlefield. It is assumed that due to a wide range of communication media, including satellite, high-speed communication channel and installation of equipment for group information transmission over long distances, the aircraft will also be used as a control point for unmanned aerial vehicles.

"Sense Of Pride": PM Modi After Flying On Tejas Fighter Jet In Bengalurur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a sortie on the indigenously built light combat fighter aircraft Tejas in Bengaluru today. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Bengaluru-based defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited on Saturday and reviewed the ongoing work at its manufacturing facility, officials said.

“Successfully completed a sortie on the Tejas. The experience was incredibly enriching, significantly bolstering my confidence in our country’s indigenous capabilities, and leaving me with a renewed sense of pride and optimism about our national potential,” Prime Minister Modi posted on X.

Light Combat Aircraft Tejas is a 4.5-generation multi-role fighter aircraft and is designed to take offensive air support and provide close combat support for ground operations.

Tejas is the smallest and lightest aircraft in its class and the dimensions and the extensive use of composite structure make it lighter. The fighter jet has an excellent safety track record of accident-free flying.

The Indian Air Force presently operates 40 Tejas MK-1 aircraft and the IAF has 83 Tejas MK-1A fighters on order in a deal worth ₹ 36,468 crore.

Earlier this month, the LCA Tejas took part in the Dubai Air Show. The LCA Tejas was part of the static and aerial display and performed some daring manoeuvres proving its capability as a formidable fighter aircraft.

The LCA was built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and was primarily designed for the Indian Air Force but a Naval variant of the Tejas is being tested to undertake Ground Maritime Operations. The home-built fly-by-wire system in the Tejas is one of the key achievements of the HAL.

The twin-seater was added to the Air Force’s repertoire in October catapulting India to the list of “very few” elite countries who have created such capabilities and have them operational in their Defence Forces.

HAL has an order of 18 twin seaters from IAF and is planning to deliver eight of them during 2023–24. The remaining 10 would be delivered progressively by 2026–27.

During Prime Minister Modi’s state visit to the US, New Delhi and Washington signed a historic agreement with HAL and General Electric (GE) to manufacture the F414 fighter engines to power Tejas Mark 2 fighter jets, an advanced and powerful variant of Tejas Mark 1A. The F404 GE engine powers the Mark 1 variant of Tejas.

The Indian Air Force operates two squadrons of the LCA Tejas — №45 Squadron the ‘Flying Daggers’ and the №18 Squadron. the ‘Flying Bullets’.

The Indian Air Force plans to replace the ageing MiG-21 aircraft with the LCA Tejas Mark 1A aircraft by 2025. The LCA program was envisioned in the late 1980s to replace the MiG-21s that have been serving the Air Force since 1963.

Only two MiG-21 squadrons are currently operational in the air force. MiG-21s from the №4 Squadron, located in Uttarlai Rajasthan, were retired last month and will be replaced by the Su-30MKI.

The LCA was rechristened as ‘Tejas’ and took to the air on January 4, 2001, marking a historic moment for the Indian Air Force.
