The Okhotnik program has been ongoing since 2012, and its flying-wing configuration first came to public attention when a blurred photo of a prototype appeared on the internet, AINonline reported.
In January 2019, in what appeared to be a staged “leak,” a series of photos appeared of an S-70 being towed around the airfield of the Novosibirsk Aircraft Production Association (NAPO).
But it appears that the official first flight occurred on August 3, lasting for more than 20 minutes and reaching an altitude of 600 meters (1,970 feet) during the course of a number of circuits.
No location has been revealed for the flight in the video, but on May 16 a prototype was at the Valery Chakov State Flight Test Center (GLITs) at Akhtubinsk, where it was presented to President Putin.
