Russian kamikaze drones "Molniya-2" began to be equipped with Starlink terminals for uninterrupted communication with the operator along the entire route to the target. This was reported by the Telegram channel "Military Informant".
At the same time, if earlier we were talking about single copies of Starlink on reconnaissance drones, now there is a serial standard installation on disposable kamikaze drones.
In addition, the new firmware made it possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of combat missions of the Molniya-2 UAV. Nine out of ten drones successfully reach the target, the percentage of hits is above 90%.
Also, "Molniya" received an autopilot module. This mode allows the device to maintain course and perform the task even when trying to jam communication and use electronic warfare equipment.
