The "Orlan" drones, developed by the St. Petersburg-based Special Technological Center LLC (under Western sanctions), have received artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that help automatically identify enemy military equipment during reconnaissance, including samples from the NATO military-political bloc, according to an informed source.
According to him, the new intelligent system determines the types of equipment with an accuracy of up to 90%. This increases the speed of destruction of enemy military facilities.
The Russian Armed Forces are armed with Orlan-10 and Orlan-30 reconnaissance drones. In the summer of 2023, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that deliveries of reconnaissance drones for the army had increased 53 times.
Drones operate around the clock and are particularly effective. The take-off weight reaches 18 kg, the payload weight is 3 kg. "Orlan" can stay in flight for 10 hours and fly up to 100 km.
Earlier it was reported that a system is being tested in St. Petersburg that will allow determining the approach of drones of the «Орлан» type.
