National Guard fighters knocked down the unique Russian Dron "Merlin-WR" (video)

The brigade of the National Guard "Rubiz" shot down the Russian experimental drone "Merlin-WR". Its cost is $ 300,000. The FPV-Droons of the Brigade of the Rubizh National Guard shot down the hostile reconnaissance drone "Merlin-BR". This was reported by NSU Commander Alexander Pivnenko. The Russians emphasized that their drone, thanks to the quietness, the modern equipment of the tracking and the long range of flight, allegedly became a "technological breakthrough".

But even such innovations, Oleksandr Pivnenko said, did not save the scout of the invaders from the impact of Ukrainian FPV. In the 4th Brigade of the Name of Hero of Ukraine Sergeant Sergei Mikhalchuk (4 Brop) also noted that the account of the UAV operators of the anti-aircraft missile-artillery division is already the second beaten enemy drone worth almost half a million dollars.

The Russian experimental unmanned aerial vehicle "Merlin-WR" was developed by the Smolensk Research Institute of Modern Telecommunication Technologies and is intended for area exploration in automatic and semi-automatic modes. There is no information about the test and mass production of UAVs.
