Russia began to use reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) not on purpose, and to drop fragmentation grenades, declare in the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In particular, Ukrainian side claims, that the Russian military tried to adapt the Orlan-10 UAV for these purposes.
The statement of the Ukrainian military can be called strange, if consider, that the Russian Ministry of Defense back in May reported that, that UAVs of the Orlan-10 type are used in Ukraine, including in the strike version.
Then the Russian military department stated, that the upgraded "Orlan-10" is capable of carrying high-explosive fragmentation ammunition, which are placed in special blocks, fixed under the wing of the drone.
Orlan-10 is a Russian multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle, originally designed for surveillance and reconnaissance in difficult terrain. The operation of the Orlan-10 UAV began in 2010 year.
Until recently, "Orlan-10" was associated only with reconnaissance and fire adjustment. But converted for UAV combat missions, taking into account the fact that this is the most massive modern drone of the RF Armed Forces, can become a significant problem for the Armed Forces.
