The Sukhoi S-70 #Okhotnik UCAV model at #MAKS2019 with stealthy exhaust and the recent announcement by Russian MoD that Okhotniks would be deployed in the East & West of the country by 2024 are significant pointers to Russian thinking on the future of air combat Image
Giving optionally manned stealth fighters a pass, Russia appears to be embracing unmanned stealth (#Okhotnik) for striking targets in heavily contested airspace & the combination of stealth & EW (#Su57) for defending homeland airspace.
The tight integration of the two platforms under the flying wingman concept makes their combination deadly. Penetrating Raptors would need to pause after first spotting #Su57, to ensure their own presence hasn't been picked by #Okhotniks & relayed to the Su-57s!
