During the night attack on Ukraine, the Russians used unidentified drones, probably for reconnaissance purposes.

During another night attack on Ukraine, the Russians used drones of an undetermined type, which were probably reconnaissance drones. This was reported by the head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN .

Of course, this is intelligence. They are constantly searching for targets for possible attacks, and in fact, almost every day the Russians lose them, because they are constantly engaged in combat operations, constantly shooting down aircraft over Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Odesa regions

- Pletenchuk said.

Recall

Ukraine's air defense system shot down all 4 Shahid drones and 5 unidentified drones launched by Russian forces during the night attack.

Oleksandr Ruvin, Director of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, previously saidthat the Russians have begun to equip their Orlan-10 reconnaissance drones with foreign-made trackers designed to track the location of objects. This indicates that the enemy is trying to expand the functions of its reconnaissance drones.

"In Russian reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles of the Orlan-10 type, the experts of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise found trackers for tracking the location of objects. All recent samples of UAVs that have been submitted for examination have such elements. This indicates that the enemy uses drones not only for general information gathering, but also for systematic tracking of the points where "enemy birds" are shot down or land.

The trackers are equipped with main and autonomous power sources, so even after the main systems fail, before the loss of communication, the coordinates can be sent.

Like most components of the electronic component base in Russian weapons, trackers are dual-use goods and can be used for civilian and military purposes. Their components, chips and microcircuits, are not produced in Russia," Ruvin said.
