Russia unveils stealth drones for the Su-57E fighter jet.

Experts at the Rosatomkhoz corporation, also known as Rostec, have unveiled a new family of stealth drones designed for the fifth-generation Su-57E fighter jet. These drones feature different wing configurations and low radar signatures, making them nearly invisible to enemy sensors. They also boast a significant operational range and high flight speeds.

The first public appearance will be at the El Alamein International Airshow 2026 in Egypt, from September 8th to September 10th. The display will feature these new unmanned systems alongside an export version of the Russian Su-57E fighter. This combination aims to demonstrate how manned aircraft and drone systems can work together seamlessly during modern armed conflicts.

Rostec representatives emphasize that current combat concepts require a greater role for UAVs. These platforms are evolving from simple reconnaissance tools into full-fledged strike units. The corporation previously shared details about the combat capabilities of the Russian Su-57.
