Initially, such equipment was provided for aerial photography of the area, which should help researchers in creating maps, as well as in rescue operations.
But after the start of a full-scale war, such UAVs appeared in service with Russian troops, who use them to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
The enemy drone was destroyed using the Swedish RBS 70 man-portable anti-aircraft missile system from Saab.
The effective range of destruction of Swedish MANPADS targets is more than 9 km, the destruction height does not exceed 5 km. Deployment time is 45 seconds and can be reloaded in less than 5 seconds.
The weight of the launcher is 35 kg, it is equipped with an optical sight and a thermal imager.
It is known that at the beginning of 2022, RBS 70 operators were 19 countries, which in total acquired 1.6 thousand launchers and over 17 thousand missiles.
