The drone is produced by the Center for Special Technologies in Saint Petersburg , which is said to have delivered around 100 of these drones to the Russian armed forces in 2013. In 2014, around 200 more drones were delivered to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Technical specifications

The Orlan-10 is a small reconnaissance and surveillance drone. The design represents a classic shoulder- wing propeller aircraft with a front engine and a normal tail unit . The wings are not swept with rounded wing tips. It is launched from a catapult and lands autonomously on a parachute housed in the back of the torso. The impact is cushioned by an airbag. The wings of the drone are dismantled for transport. All components, including the catapult, are housed in a transport box.
