The Russian Orlan-10 drone shot down in Ukraine in an attack version
Last year, the Russians boasted about the appearance of the ‘unique’ UAV ‘Orlan’ in service. The reconnaissance drone was upgraded by Russian engineers to the level of an attack drone. They mounted containers with VOGs under the wings of the UAV.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the use of modernized Orlans in Ukraine at the end of spring last year. Containers mounted under the wings of the drone contain VOG-25 grenade launchers with feathering. One drone can carry four munitions with a radius of about 10 meters. The results of the bombing are captured by a built-in video camera.
