Russian military personnel have begun using inexpensive Molniya strike drones in a new role. Now they not only perform their usual strike functions, but have also become carriers of FPV drones, reaching a new level of combat capabilities.
Soldiers send the Molniya aircraft-type UAV on a mission with an FPV drone attached to the top. When the kit arrives in the rear of Ukrainian forces, the drone separates and is controlled by another operator, searching for and engaging the target.
At the same time, "Molniya" also attacks the selected target afterwards. Thanks to this, the range of FPV drones has increased. Thus, the soldiers achieved a double benefit for themselves.
"Molniya" has a range of about 60 km, is assembled on site in less than 3 hours, and then flies at a speed of up to 80 km/h for about 40 minutes.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Tu-160M bomber surpassed the American B-1 Lancer: greater flight range and combat load.
