The hunt for enemy drones continues. Soldiers of the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Hetman Ivan Mazepa chalked up a rather rare copy - "Orlan-30".
The relevant information was published in a telegram from the Strategic Communications Center Stratcom of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This device is a modified version of the Orlan-10 main reconnaissance UAV of the occupiers and, above all, it has a higher operational height, which makes it possible to carry more payload - up to 8 kg.
Also, this UAV can be used as a laser targeting rangefinder. That is, it can illuminate the target with a beam. The maximum flight speed of Orlan-30 reaches about 170 km/h.
