On February 28, the Russian Ministry of Defense released video footage documenting a recent attack by an Orion combat drone on a command and control center of Kiev forces in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
The footage shows the drone being prepared for the mission by ground crews, as well as the aftermath of the pinpoint strike.
The drone targeted the center with a X-BPLA missile, an air-launched version of the Kornet-D anti-tank laser-guided missile. The specifications of the new missile are yet to be revealed. The ground-launched Kornet-D has a range of up to 8 kilometers and the ability to penetrate 1,300 mm of rolled homogeneous armor after explosive reactive armor.
The Orion was developed by Russia’s Kronstadt Group to conduct both reconnaissance and combat missions. The drone can be equipped with different payloads, including electro-optical, radar and electronic or signal intelligence gathering systems.
The drone, which entered service with the Russian military very recently, has an endurance of 24 hours and a combat radius of 250 kilometers.
Russian combat drones, including the Kronshtadt Orion, the Forpost-R and the Luch Korsar, have been attacking Kiev forces since the start of the special military operation more than a year ago with much success. In the last few months, these drones became more active.
After such documented successful missions, I guess that many countries in the world will show interest for the Kronstadt Group’s war toys.
Jews are the first ones calling.
Nah they just steal it and put their name on it.
Now 250 KM range is in modern terms – SHIT. But this will be the Leopard hunter nr 1. Hope Russia has a reasonable amount of these drones. +100 and it can monitor the skies 24/7 which I hope it really is already doing.

Russia has “not even started yet” to defend their Slavic brothers in Donbass. They are still testing new drones and new kinds of ammo.
Congratulation. Russia hit a little Kiev command control centre in a little village near Donetsk. Russia you are fantastic as equal partner, you are also like we are. You are like us.
