Russian VKS takes shortcut to develop 6th generation UAV

In recent times, the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) have been equipped with new types of fighters, bombers and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Therefore, the founding day of this force on August 12 promises to attract the attention of the world media.

Regarding this force in an interview with TASS news agency, famous Russian test pilot Anatoly Kvochur said that Russia is currently actively developing unmanned devices, for example, developing robots capable of replacing pilots to help planes land, "blind" enemies and developing 6th generation UAVs.

Mr. Anatoly Kvochur said that with its current strength, the Russian Procuracy is capable of fighting all enemies and completing all tasks.

Their fighters are almost new and possess considerable power. However, their capabilities will be further enhanced after being upgraded to the next versions in the future.

He added that in combat, the pilot's skills are very important but depend on many factors, including information support from the outside. If the pilot sits in the cockpit like in a tank and can't see anything, he will become a target for the enemy.

So knowing what is happening around the aircraft is very important, it helps the pilot determine whether to attack or defend.

To solve this problem, Russian experts have designed many sensors and special devices around the fuselage and combined with a display screen in the cockpit to allow pilots to observe most clearly.

For example, thanks to this equipment, together with satellite navigation systems, pilots will be able to land more accurately at all times, including at night.

He believes that in modern warfare, the air force needs to coordinate smoothly with ground forces, but in the worst case scenario, such as the airport being partially destroyed or the radio system being severely damaged...

In this case, the aircraft's observation and navigation systems play a very important role, the pilot uses them and determines the landing method himself.

If the 4th and 5th generation aircraft had an important role for pilots, then the 6th generation will see the appearance of unmanned versions of aircraft. They will operate like small UAVs.

The 6th generation fighter will have manned and unmanned versions, but their combat effectiveness will be the same.

One thing that is essential for drones is that they need to be controlled, in this case a manned fighter such as the Su-57 or a 6th generation fighter will have the task of ensuring the distance to control the drones, even multiple aircraft at the same time performing their missions.

This means that in the future the role of pilots will gradually decrease, instead new aircraft will be equipped with more modern equipment to replace their tasks.

This is the future development direction of not only the Russian Procuracy but also many other countries in the world.
