Why has nobody seen a Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker-B with external-drop fuel tanks, although they are so common for other fighter aircraft? The Su-27 has plenty of room inside the airframe, because of its blended-body aerodynamic configuration. In fact, from the first prototype in 1998 until today, only 18 aircraft have been built and just 15 of them are in operation. Many years ago, when launching the Be-200 program, manufacturers expected orders for 400 aircraft in the pessimistic and 800 in the optimistic forecast.

The Be-200 is a beautiful plane, but it is hardly a commercial success. The only version that is produced is the Be-200ChS, a combination of a fire aircraft with a search and rescue aircraft. In practice, it turned out that airports did exist in places where tourist traffic is large enough to justify the use of a 70-seat passenger plane, rendering sea planes unnecessary. The Russians expected that as soon as such an amphibious plane appeared on the market, there would be a demand for it in numerous tourist destinations. The initial concept of the plane was much broader, however the Be-200 was also to be a full-fledged 72-seat passenger plane, and therefore it received a pressurized cabin. The first task for which the Be-200 was made was firefighting the plague of forest fires regularly affects Russia's Siberia and the Far East. The Be-200 is the worldвЂ™s only jet-powered amphibious aircraft in production and operation.

The series production will be launched in 2024 by the Novosibirsk Aircraft Plant belonging to Sukhoi. Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov proclaimed at the recent Army exhibition in August that the Russian Defense Ministry would place an order for a large batch of Okhotniks in 2022. The S-70B-1 technology demonstrator has been undergoing flight tests since Aug. The design draws on technology and elements previously made for the Su-57 fighter. Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik is a 20-ton subsonic вЂњflying wingвЂќ powered by one turbofan engine. The medium and long-range air-to-air missiles, combined with the S-70вЂ™s long endurance, would allow the Okhotnik to be used as a loitering interceptor in RussiaвЂ™s northern regions. These will probably be R-77M beyond-visual-range missiles, the basic air-to-air weapon of the Su-57 Felon fighter. It was also announced that the first real launches of air-to-air missiles from the Okhotnik's internal weapon bay are planned for the second half of 2021. 'there are quite a large number of other unmanned aerial vehicles, but of a different purpose, with different tasks.вЂќ What is the purpose of the Okhotnik then, aside from the obvious function of a strike or reconnaissance plane? The news agency RIA Novosti reported in December 2020 that Okhotnik had made several flights 'in the variant of an interceptor with simulators of air-to-air missiles' over the Ashuluk training ground near Astrakhan in south Russia.

As Sukhoi design bureauвЂ™s first deputy director Sergey Bibikov told Russian TV in February 2021: in the U.S. However, the Russians stress that the Okhotnik has no counterpart in other countries. I don't really know what is unique about the Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik heavy unmanned combat aircraft. Tupolev is implementing a contract for modernization of the Tu-95MS to the Tu-95MSM version with new avionics and weapons, as well as improved engines.

These aircraft were manufactured in the second half of the 1980s and in the early 1990s, according to a new deeply revised design, maintaining only external similarity to the first Tu-95s of the 1950s and 1960s.

Tu-95MS Bear-H (shown here) bombers in the Russian Aerospace Forces are often considered old airplanes. Thanks to the swept wing, Bear is the fastest turboprop in the world the Tu-95MS bomber version achieves a maximum speed of 830 km/h (516 mph) the NavyвЂ™s Tu-142MK version is even faster at 855 km/h (531 mph). Each engine drives an AV-60 propeller unit consisting of two four-blade coaxial contra-rotating disks. It has a swept wing with four 11,185 ekW (15,000 ehp) Kuznetsov NK-12MP turboprop engines.
