Zala reconnaissance drone teams are helping Russian assault units advance, the Defense Ministry said.
The agency noted that the technical characteristics of the Zala UAV allow it to remain unnoticed, while detecting well-disguised command posts, artillery positions and air defense systems.
The operator can even see what the enemy is doing at the strong point, or the license plates of a car.
It takes only a few minutes to bring the drone into combat readiness. Along with reconnaissance of the area, Zala allows you to fight the "Baba Yaga" drones, which often fly lower, which allows you to detect them in time and shoot them down in a timely manner.
Zala 421-16E5G is the world's first aircraft-type drone that does not need airfield basing. It is equipped with a hybrid power plant consisting of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
