Only a week after the Su-70. This is the Altius-U. Based on the previously flown Altius the U stands for strike version -- meaning this baby will carry NATO obliterating ordnance where the original model was simply an ISTR platform for spying on Yankee swine.

The major thing about the Altius line is its use of diesel engines. Those props be powered by 2 RED-A03 diesels. RED-A03 is a rather fitting name of a communist diesel. Its a V12 diesel and the first ever diesel engine perfected for aviation functions anywhere. Typically you cant use diesel engines on aircraft because they just dont work in extreme cold, but the commies perfected a diesel that can work in near space.

also i think there is a substance very similar to diesel that helicopters, jets, props use.... I'll have to think for a minute what aviation-based fuel is available something about lamps... i cant remember...maybe later

no one gives a fuck about russia. go start a war with the 37 ppl who live in antarctica and you'd probably still lose because none of your military shit actually works and you'd blow yourselves up.

Countries with drones in 10 ton weight class -- US, Russia, China, Israel. None in Europe.

Countries with drones in 20 ton weight class -- US and Russia. Not one offering in China, Israel or the EU.

The Ohotnik Su-70 is actually 25 ton class and 5 tons bigger than the largest Yankee drone.

Wouldn't one of the primary goals of drone design be to make it as light as possible? If so, focusing solely on the weight of the drone seems incredibly retarded.

That's my point. Without noting how the additional weight results in additional functionality above and beyond other drones, your repeated references to its weight are pointless.

There are mass per volume numbers floating around in the open source. Yankeen airframes are not more efficient -- at least not in the last 30 years since commie engines closed the tech gap. Now that you have comparable thrust to weight ratios everywhere the simple tonnage number gives you most of the story. The electronics are more or less comparable too. Russia with its 28nm fabbed chips is not notably behind the US at 10nm. Its a 3-4 year gap in payloads.

TBF the X-47 is now cancelled because of stress fractures. They have to redesign the airframe. Hopefully Russia did not actually copy that shit show that ended with 2 prototypes.
