Orlan 10 is cheap and cost the same as the stinger missile that would be used to shot it down. UAVs of such type can be wasted in massive numbers(There are more than a thousand of Orlans built already). This is why I say that modern militaries have no answer to cheap, mass-produced drones.

How does Russia define the term "Nazi"? How does a Russian recognize a "Nazi"?
Honestly I gonna have to respect the craft here, using plastic bottles for fuel tanks and civilian cameras for optical. Cheap yet still effective, but I do wonder if it can get cheaper if they opt for a cheap camera from Aliexpress instead of buying from Canon.
Edit: Actually, now that Its revealed they are using Canon cameras for military purpose, is Canon going to ban exports to Russia later?

I don't have high regards for Russian technology in the field of UAV, however I'd take a huge bucket of salt with what Ukraine say about Russian equipment.... plastic bottles? really? And that is preferable to fabricating a cheap fuel tank to hold exact optimal amount of fuel for an UAV as oppose to exactly 500ml?
A HUGE Bucket of salt please
Top Neo-Nazi commander killed in Ukraine – Russia
Taras Bobanich, a senior figure in the Right Sector group, was killed by Russian commandos, the Russian defense ministry said

Russian commandos have killed a prominent member of Ukraine’s ultra-nationalist Right Sector group, the Russian defense ministry claimed on Monday. Taras Bobanich was accused by Moscow of causing hundreds of civilian deaths in eastern Ukraine during hostilities in 2014.
A Russian recon team killed the top Neo-Nazi while on patrol about 5km south from the city of Izium in Ukraine’s Kharkov region, the ministry statement explained. It said he was a deputy commander of the Right Sector responsible for reserve operations.
The ministry didn’t disclose the circumstances of Bobanich’s death. The Right Sector’s social media reported that he was killed on Friday near Izium, calling him a “legendary nationalist”.
The 33-year-old, whose nickname was “Hummer”, came originally from western Ukraine. He rose to national prominence during the mass protests and armed coup of 2013-2014, during which Western-backed Ukrainian nationalists served as a street fighting force against law enforcement.
The coup ended with the toppling of Ukraine’s democratically elected president and a rebellion in the east of the country, which the new authorities in Kiev tried to quash with military force. The nationalists formed so-called “volunteer battalions” to participate in the fighting.
According to Russia, Bobanich had personally ordered the indiscriminate artillery shelling of cities in eastern Ukraine during the hostilities, which allegedly resulted in hundreds of deaths.
In addition to serving as a nationalist military commander, Bobanich played a prominent role in the blockade of trade between Ukraine and Crimea in the autumn 2015. The blockade was organized by nationalist forces who wanted to punish people living on the peninsula for breaking away from Ukraine a year prior and voting to rejoin Russia.
Moscow attacked its neighbor in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.
Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.
Thinking Stepan Bandera was a good guy, seems like a logical starting point, I would think

and engages in discrimination and hate crimes against ethnic Russians living in Ukraine, calling them orcs and such.
The video is highly likely to be your usual propaganda stuff. TBH, if the Russians are actually using canon dslr I'd expect the resulting imaging quality to be better, less noisy and grainy.... judging from the shitty footages we've been seeing, I believe they come from genuine Russian electronics industry....
Also, if they're using civilian dslr don't you think they'd at least remove the heavy casing to save weight? Truly Ukrainian propaganda is getting more ridiculous by the day....
Good points, the lengths they go through just to make this propaganda is truly outstanding. Its feels like I'm watching an augmented reality series from all the stuff they publish, from the start of the war till ongoing now its been an absolute circus show.
This one does have better production value compared to the one where they have a bunch of guys play corpses in body bags, that one was hilarious.
I can understand the value of propaganda in wartime but this level of clownery is just insulting, they're gonna get mocked remorselessly for all the effort they put into it....
