Another video of an Orion UAV striking a Ukrainian T-64BV

Another video of an Orion UAV striking a Ukrainian T-64BV with an X-UAV missile in the Kursk region.

Problems in providing air defence cover for the invading Ukrainian troops created a "window of opportunity" for Russian medium-sized strike and reconnaissance drones to be used specifically as strike drones.

These shots show brief moments of the use of this class of drones in the way many imagined before the big war, using the example of the conflicts in Syria, Libya or Karabakh - for long-term patrolling over enemy logistics routes and shooting down their military equipment outside the coverage area of ​​short-range air defence.

It should be especially noted that drones of this type still have several key advantages. Low cost per flight hour compared to manned vehicles, relatively small losses in case of losses, no risk of losing a valuable and expensive to train pilot, and high efficiency of the guided weapons used.
