Russia is working on a long-range unmanned strike system, reported Alexander Nemov, deputy chief of the research department at the 30th Central Scientific Research Institute outside Moscow at the Zvezda, official television channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

"Development work is currently underway on a long-range unmanned system capable of carrying out unmanned low-altitude supersonic flights, and striking both stationary and mobile targets at operational-strategic depth," so thinks Nemov.

Zvezda clarified that the aircraft will, on the one hand, be capable of performing low-altitude flights, much like a cruise missile, and will fly faster than the speed of sound, providing the Russian military with fundamentally new strategic capabilities not currently enjoyed by any other military in the world.

"It will have the ability to carry both guided and unguided air-launched weapons.", said Nemov answering a question about onboard weapons.
