Russia is testing a new drone similar to the CIA's stealthy RQ-170, and wants to turn it into a sixth-generation fighter
- Russia says that it will turn its new Okhotnik drone, which is about to make its maiden flight, into a sixth-generation aircraft.
- Popular Mechanics also published a supposed picture above of the Okhotnik, which was posted on a Russian aviation forum called paralay.iboards.ru.
- Still, it’s unclear exactly what the Okhotnik’s capabilities are now, and what they would be if turned into a sixth-generation fighter – a concept that is still not fully realised.
