On August 3, 2019, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the "Hunter B" heavy drone developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau has achieved its first flight. This strange-looking drone landed safely after flying around the airport at an altitude of 600 meters for 20 minutes. The "Hunter B" drone is a drone system developed since 2012, which is a breakthrough for Russia in the field of drones. Previously, the Russian aviation industry did not provide decent drone products to the Russian army. When other countries were popular in the investigation and attack drone, the Russian Air Force was actually blank. Currently, countries including Saudi Arabia and the UAE are equipped with advanced investigation and attack drone.

The "Hunter B" drone developed by the Russian Sukhoi Design Bureau is an aircraft with a flying wing structure, and this is the first time Russia has carried out related development work. Before the Hunter B drone, Russia had a blank in the development of large drones. In early 2019, the hibernator of Siberian took a picture of Russia's "Hunter B" testing on the ground, which made this drone with flying wing structure famous all over the world. The Sukhoi Design Bureau not only has the design of manned aircraft, but now also focuses on the research work of the unmanned attack aircraft project. The "Hunter B" drone is a heavy drone with a maximum take-off weight of about 20 tons. It has a built-in bomb bay and can perform long-range hidden attack missions.

​At present, the "Hunter B" drone developed by the Russian Sukhoi Design Bureau adopts the aerodynamic layout of similar to the US Air Force B-2A Stealth strategic bomber , including the structure of the wings, which seems to have references, but in terms of overall tonnage, it is much smaller than that of B-2A. The Russian Air Force currently does not have the B-2A stealth strategic bomber similar to the US Air Force. The Russian Air Force only has two strategic bombers, Tu-95 and Tu-160. The Tu-95 is an ancient bomber that uses the propeller engine, while the Tu-160 is the world's largest strategic bomber and the fastest-flying strategic bomber in the world.

For the "Hunter B" drone developed by the Russian Sukhoi Design Bureau, the United States said that this is a product that plagiarizes the US military's B-2A technology. Whether from the public or the official, they all expressed doubts that Russia can master stealth technology in a short period of time. Because the Su-57 fighter developed by Russia does not have stealth capabilities, we can see the dilemma of the Russian aviation industry, but the current capabilities reflected by the "Hunter B" drone surprised the United States. Russia said that "Hunter B" can cooperate with the Su-57 fighter in the future, so this drone has the ability to fight in cyber warfare, which is something that the U.S. currently cannot do. This makes the United States also worry.

After the first exposure of the Russian "Hunter B" drone in 2019, many people in the United States thought it was a plagiarized product. Now Russia's "Hunter B" drone has achieved its first flight, and its entire flight process is like the B-2A stealth strategic bomber. The outside world is also impressed by Russia's development of the "Hunter B" drone series, because before only the United States had the ability to develop stealth strategic bombers and stealth drones, but now Russia also has some capabilities.
