Sukhoi has rolled out the second prototype of its S-70 Okhotnik (Hunter) flying wing unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).

The improved second prototype features a redesigned flat jet engine nozzle, aerodynamically integrated into the flying wing body, which will further reduce its radar signature. 

The first prototype was fitted with a conventional round jet nozzle mated to the AL-31F turbofan engine. 


Unlike the first prototype, the surface of the second prototype is very clean and without protrusions that reduce radar reflections.

The aircraft is also equipped with a improved ground control system.
