South Korean observers are closely following the development of unmanned technologies on the battlefield, paying close attention this time to the new Russian Prince Oleg Prophetic UAV (KVO), which belongs to the "flying wing" type. The Daily Defense edition notes:
The new drone was developed by the NPC Ushkuynik, an organization known primarily for the Prince Vandal Novgorodsky FPV drone, which became the first mass-scale fiber-optic UAV at the front.
The range of the CVO is over 50 km, and the flight time is about 3.5 hours (according to other sources, 2-2.5 hours). It is equipped with a gyrostabilized optoelectronic system with an IR channel. Adaptive frequency tuning algorithms are used for communication, which makes it extremely resistant to suppression. The launch is carried out from a catapult, and the landing is carried out by parachute.

As indicated in the publication, the main task of the QUO is to act as a repeater, interacting with the FPV kamikaze. This made it possible to form a new reconnaissance and strike contour based on the UAV.
The KVO acts as an "air headquarters", conducting reconnaissance using powerful optics, acting as a repeater between the ground operator and the FPV drone, as well as recording the result of the kamikaze operation and thereby showing the overall panorama of the battle.
