The Orlan-10 drones, which operate in conditions of constant electronic warfare in Ukraine, are equipped with special optics and thermal imagers to search for targets.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released a video which shows work of the multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) Orlan-10 in Ukraine, where Moscow continues its special military operation.
In the clip, the Russian soldiers are seen installing a platform to launch the Orlan-10 drone.
Part of the footage shows a Russian serviceman elaborate on the tasks that the Russian military implements with the help of the Orlan-10s.
“The drones fly to the area of work, looking for cellular subscribers and defining their location. We also send SMS to them and determine their belonging to a specific country,” the servicemen is heard saying.
