Russia has developed a reconnaissance drone with the "flying binoculars" function, capable of hovering in the air and observing a certain section of the front for a long time. This was reported by the Stratim Design Bureau.
Russian specialists have developed a reconnaissance drone "Sparrow" with the function of "flying binoculars". The drone is able to stay at one point for a long time, automatically maintaining its current location, direction and altitude, while monitoring a certain area of the front. In addition, he is able to independently find targets, including enemy military equipment, by transmitting a clear picture to the operator using a camera with a powerful zoom.

As noted in the Design Bureau, Vorobey is a lightweight scout operating at a non-standard frequency, and unlike Mavic it has an open firmware. The drone's operation does not depend on foreign manufacturers.
This drone is already being used by our fighters in the SVO zone, while in testing mode, the developers are collecting information, identifying possible shortcomings of the UAV in order to promptly make changes to its design as it is released. Feedback from the fighters in the company has been established. Serial production of the drone has already been launched, and production vehicles will soon be sent to the free zone.
Claimed characteristics: flight range — 10 km, altitude — up to 500 m, speed — 80 km / h, time in the air — up to 40 minutes.
