The strike drones have received a sight that allows them to hit ground targets with unguided ammunition from a high altitude with ultra-precision.

Russian developers have tested sighting and navigation systems on drones that allow the effective use of unguided ammunition.

According to RIA Novosti, the Orion unmanned aerial vehicle during combat tests at the training ground hit a target of the "tank" type with a direct hit of a 100-kilogram unguided aerial bomb from a height of four kilometers. These indicators correspond to the characteristics of high-precision guided weapons.

Thanks to the sighting and navigation system, which was created specifically for the Orion strike drone, unguided aerial bombs dropped from a height of several kilometers deviate from the target by no more than 10 meters.

Sighting systems for the use of unguided ammunition were previously used on manned aircraft. In particular, the Hephaestus systems were used in Syria on Su-24 aircraft and proved their effectiveness.

Installing such sights on attack drones will significantly reduce the cost of strikes on targets, while maintaining high accuracy rates.

According to experts, the use of such an approach for attack drones can increase the flexibility in the actions of the Russian Armed Forces. In addition, the use of such sights will provide favorable advantages to Russian drones in the global weapons market.
