Ukrainian volunteer @zapustit_romana published a photo of a rare Russian Orlan-30 drone.
The ‘bird’ was shot down by the 54th separate mechanized brigade. This is the most modern Russian UAV. It is a modified version of Orlan-10.

The drone has an increased take-off weight of up to 27 kg. This allows ‘Orlan-30’ to carry up to 8 kg of payload. For example, a camera with electronic-optical image stabilization, devices for radio-electronic reconnaissance and bearing, means for measuring the radiation background, etc. Such a UAV can be used as a laser target-pointing-rangefinder. That is, the drone is able to illuminate targets. The maximum flight speed of ‘Orlan-30’ reaches 150 km/h. It can fly up to 300 km and stay in the air for up to 5 hours.
