Invulnerable to electronic warfare (EW) equipment, Russian «Molniya-2» drones are assembled on site in literally 10 minutes. This was stated by a senior radio mechanic-reconnaissance officer with the call sign Cosmos.
According to him, «Molniya-2» lifts a mass of up to 6 kg and remains very maneuverable. The drones arrive at the positions disassembled — in boxes.
We attach the wings, fairings, rudder, and keel. We hang the charge and balance it. We use a battery to catch the balance. Then, when a target appears, we conduct pre-flight preparation with the pilot. We check the operability of the ailerons, rudder, and propellers, and find the image.
After a full check of the drone, it is installed on a catapult and launched towards the target.
It was previously reported about an important update to «Molniya» — they began to install Starlink terminals on them for uninterrupted communication with the operator throughout the route to the target. Nine out of ten drones successfully reach the target, the percentage of destruction is above 90%.
