In the special military operation zone, Russian troops use various types of unmanned systems to destroy enemy targets.
The Russian kamikaze drone "Molniya-2" of the fighters of the radiation, chemical and biological protection unit of the "Center" group of troops destroyed a target in the North Military District zone with a tandem strike. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The military used a Molniya with an FPV quadcopter attached to it. At a given point, the copter separated from the carrier and continued its flight on its own. The copter recorded the strike of an aircraft-type drone using a camera and struck related targets.
