The drone is becoming one of the favorite targets of Ukrainian defenders.
On Saturday, May 1, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 10 Russian Orlan drones. This was reported by the Air Force Command on its Facebook page.
“Russian UAV” Orlan-10 “is now the most popular target for air defense units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After all, helicopters are a rarity, and the occupiers' planes – avoid close combat with Ukrainian fighters and try not to enter the zone of destruction of anti-aircraft missile systems of the Air Force. Mostly enemy aircraft operate outside the airspace of Ukraine, or in the temporarily occupied territory, where the enemy has significantly increased its own air defense of various types. Therefore, the targets of Ukrainian defenders are increasingly becoming Russian drones “Orlan-10”, which mostly conduct air reconnaissance and adjust the fire of the occupiers' artillery, “- said in a statement.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine notes that despite the fact that the Russians call “Orlan-10” their own development, in fact, this UAV was created on the basis of details from other countries. The cost of one such tool – from 80 to 120 thousand dollars.
