In 2012, it became known that in Russia have decided to work on a promising attack aircraft (PRN). Later it became known that the development activities received the designation "Hornet-EP." Information on how the new aircraft will be contradictory, but it was reported that "Hornet" will have the effect of invisibility. That is, the use of "stealth technology" implies that missiles and bombs will have to hide inside the fuselage or underwing special containers. Apparently, this winged machine is well armored. Attack was the most advanced radar, sighting and navigation equipment and modern means of communication. He will be able to use the entire range of tactical weapons, including long-range precision missiles, which will significantly reduce losses. It is planned that the aircraft will be adapted to work not only with concrete, but also ground runways. In 2020, PRN should begin flowing in the Air Force, gradually replacing the Su-25SM. In the more distant future, "Hornets" will work together with the heavy drone strike that the Sukhoi company is also developing.
