On April 16, the Russian Defense Ministry released unique images, which showed in detail many intricacies of the work of unmanned aircraft. In the video, the crew of the Orlan-10 drone demonstrated in detail how they carry out combat work in the NVO zone.
It should be noted that immediately upon arrival at the site, the complex is first masked, and only after its deployment begins. The fighters go to the starting position, transferring boxes of equipment there. During the video they explain how the drone is prepared for takeoff and the launcher is attached. They specify that the proper packaging of the parachute must be checked. Then 6 liters of fuel are poured into the tank of the drone, which allows the drone to stay in the air for 10 hours and launch.
