Moscow, Russia - In a development that could reshape modern warfare, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has secured a patent for a game-changing weapon: an air-launched assault drone designed to be deployed from the Su-57, Russia's top-of-the-line fighter jet. 

This news, breaking on March 27th, signifies a "thrilling progression" in military technology, according to analysts.

The drone, details of which remain classified, is expected to be a force multiplier for the Su-57. Launched mid-air, it would extend the fighter's reach and firepower, potentially taking on the role of a kamikaze drone for high-risk missions. Experts believe this innovation won't be limited to the Su-57. The potential for integrating this drone with other Russian aircraft is reportedly under consideration, hinting at a broader modernization of Russia's aerial arsenal.

This patent unveiling marks a significant step forward in drone warfare. The Su-57's "wingman" drone represents a new level of air combat capability, with analysts predicting it will have a major impact on future battlefields.
