The Russian strike kamikaze drone of the aircraft type is comparable in characteristics to the Lancet, but is significantly cheaper and easier to operate. This was reported in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Unlike its predecessor, the Molniya-1, the Molniya-2 drone can carry a warhead of up to 6 kg, and the flight range has also been increased.
A group of operators can provide up to six sorties per day. The crew consists of three soldiers - a pilot, a loader and a sapper.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Su-30SM2 fighters and Su-24M bombers practiced strikes against warships in the Baltic.
