Ukrinform
On May 6, the Ukrainian military downed at least 14 Russian Orlan-10 drones.
“Apart from skillful mastery of the Air Force in the southeastern direction, we have destroyed yet other aggressor’s UAVs. On May 6, the air defense units of the Air Force and the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine downed at least 14 Orlan-10 drones! The hunt goes on!" the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine informs.
An Orlan-10 drone costs $80,000-120,000. Such vehicles mostly conduct air reconnaissance and adjust artillery fire.
And although aviation is more expensive, the Armed Forces urge not to underestimate the role of this drone in the war. It can also serve as a relay station or be used for jamming so it poses a serious threat to Ukrainian troops.
