Russian Orion reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicles are capable of effectively striking various targets at night. A photograph of a UAV taken at night at one of the airfields has appeared online.
To carry out the new mission, two missiles, also known as TKB-1030 - an aviation version of the Kornet-D with a laser homing head, were suspended under the wings.
Such a weapon can hit targets at a range of 12 km, and the cumulative tandem warhead has a high ability to penetrate multi-layered armor reinforced with dynamic protection.
