The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will buy UAV "Orlan", "Orion" and "Eleron": what devices can
for the purchase of various kinds of military equipment, including combat and reconnaissance UAVs "Orlan-10", "Orlan-30", "Orion" ("Inokhodets") and "Eleron-3". The focus will tell more about these drones. The Russians claim that the Orlan-10 drone can be used for the task of shocks, as well as for reconnaissance, and even knows how to stuff GPS signals of simple devices.
The drone runs from the catapult (landing on a parachute), comes in a complex that includes several devices (3 or 4), DC, maintenance and repair machine, spare parts, several laptops and radios for operators, retortators of protected communication, mast Retranslators and antennas, a weather station, a solar panel with batteries, a connection block to a generator or network, and even a winter tent for "furniture" operators.
It is also reported that "Orlan-10" works in connection with the MSTA-SM CAU, which means that it is used to guide and adjust the artillery fire. The developers do not hide that Orlan-10 is collected from commercial staffing parts. They emphasize that this reduces the cost of production and makes it possible to produce 200-300 devices a year. It is stated that the shock drone is able to navigate without GPS and GLONASS by compass and gyroscopes, it can return to home station.
Its software is compatible with Oziexplorer, so Orlan is able to put photos taken by OpenstREetmap and GoogleMap, operators can shoot photos from drone with Satellite Satellite satellite images. The Orlan-3 drone is a simpler version and is also used for intelligence. Orion drone is available in several modifications. In the Russian market, the device is known under the name "Inochod" ("Orion-e"), and export models are positioned as "Orion".
The media writes that the Ministry of Defense will also buy "Inoculations" and "Orions", which can be concluded that the manufacturer "Kronstadt" will ship the models designed for export (or possibly Russian journalists). According to Wikipedia, UAVs were initially created to solve problems such as fire -fighting and forest -pathological monitoring, organization of communication of forest fire formation, delivery of goods to firefighters in remote areas.
However, in fact, Orion is used to conduct intelligence in the territory of Ukraine, where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducts active fighting. Engineers also claim that the drone is able to carry four "air-land" missiles, which translates it into the category of combat drones. Eleron UAV is made in several modifications. The supply kit consists of a rubber plait (landing on a parachute), a drone, a portable ground control station.
