Possible roles include the suppression and attack of enemy air defenses.

I wonder how the manned, first prototype will look. The mock-up version looks quite serious, but I can only imagine a large bubble canopy on top for the manned prototype and that just looks silly! Still, it's good to see the Russian aviation industry come up with a platform like this. Good luck to them!
