The "Orlan" drone crews conduct effective aerial reconnaissance and direct artillery at enemy fortifications. Senior operator with the call sign Oboima spoke about the nuances of the drone's operation.
According to him, the scouts completely control the area, scanning every forest belt. The operating frequencies are constantly changing to avoid interception of signals by the enemy.
Drone maintenance takes no more than half an hour - from landing to a new launch. "Orlan" runs on regular 95 gasoline, and its design externally resembles a car.
We cleaned the spark plug, checked the gap, screwed it back in - standard pre-flight preparation.
After 50 combat missions, drones are sent to the factory for repairs, but there are exceptions. Some continue to work up to 200 sorties, despite the damage.
This old man has flown more than 200 times. We take care of him, repair him. He is even shot through - there is a bullet hole.
