Defense industry: the IL-76MD-90 aircraft will be able to carry up to eight Molniya dronesThe Russian Il-76MD-90 military transport aircraft will be able to carry up to eight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Molniya air launch.

On Saturday, October 15, TASS was informed by a source in the military-industrial complex.

According to him, several options are being considered for launching and using Molniya drones. He noted that up to eight vehicles will be able to carry IL-76MD-90 aircraft. Also, according to him, up to three vehicles can be placed on tactical aircraft at the same time. In addition, two Lightning UAVs can be suspended from heavy Altius-RU and Thunder drones.

The source said that according to the concept of using multi-purpose drones, "Lightning" will be able to solve the tasks of firing enemy targets and conducting aerial reconnaissance, as well as perform other special tasks.

Earlier, on October 14, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev spoke about the upcoming establishment of mass production of drones in Russia. According to him, this is due to the fact that the use of UAVs as part of a special military operation in Ukraine is a necessity that has proven its effectiveness in modern conflicts.

On October 4, calculations of multifunctional drones "Orlan-10" prevented the offensive of Ukrainian saboteurs. It is noted that during the special operation, UAVs conduct round-the-clock aerial reconnaissance to identify the enemy, as well as to warn their troops.

Prior to that, on September 15, the military commander of Izvestia, Valentin Trushnin, demonstrated the work of drones in the Ugledar direction. It was reported that Ukrainian militants are actively using dummies and creating false targets to cause artillery fire on them.


On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military.
