The Russian military has reportedly begun to use Orion combat drones to launch strikes against Kiev forces in the direction of Kursk.
Video footage posted to social networks on September 8 showed a recent strike by an Orion against a Ukrainian Soviet-made T-64 main battle tank in an unspecified part of Kursk. The drone fired an X-BPLA missile at the tank, completely destroying it.
The X-BPLA is the air-launched version of the Kornet-D anti-tank missile with semi-active laser guidance instead of a laser beam-riding system. The missile has a maximum engagement range of eight kilometers and is armed with a six kilogram high explosive fragmentation warhead.
Kiev forces launched a surprise attack into the Russian region of Kursk on August 6. Orion drones were spotted in action there just a few weeks after the start of the attack. Video footage released before the end of the month showed one such drone directing a missile strike on a large Ukrainian gathering near the settlement of Aleshenka.
The Orion was developed by Russia’s Kronstadt Group to conduct both reconnaissance and combat missions. It has an endurance of 24 hours and a combat radius of 250 kilometers. The drone is typically equipped with an optical targeting system. However, it can also carry a radar or an electronic and signal intelligence gathering system.
Besides the X-BPLA missile, the Orion can be armed with a wide range of precision-guided munitions from the Kab-20 and Kab-50 series.
The Russian military has been using Orion and several other types of combat drones against Kiev forces since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine more than two years ago. Details about the operations of these drones are rarely declassified.

which inevitably leads to the question of where this excellent russian drone was loitering when ten thousand ukrainian soldiers with a thousand armored vehicles “unexpectedly” crossed the russian border, which took the entire general staff of the russian army by surprise for three weeks not mentioning the loss of city o sudzha with key natural gas pipeline transit station
my schizo extra moron hooter amerikunt envious–1120 dead ukies near kursk as. russia rapidly now advancing while ukies now trapped like u dumb rats in kursk
haha, keep abusing my nick. keep it up. i’m just starting to enjoy it
indeed, i have to admit that the capabilities of the general staff of the current zelenska gang are very reminiscent of those of hitler’s generals, who were lucky enough to survive the purges but were caught off guard when hitler’s operation barbarossa began,

of course, such actions will not go unanswered. killing a few border guards will extrem weaken israel, it will serve israeli halks as ammunition to justify the ongoing israelian genocide. with a bit of exaggeration, it could be given the working title “the final solution to the jewish question ”
zelenska said he was deceived by merkel &, thet he “believed” in minsk agreements etc. bullshit. everybody who lived only 1 month in the ukraina must know this was a trap. if zelenska is a decent, honest man, he would resign 1.000.000 times already because of his blunt mistakes which caused ukraine 700.000 deaths. but no, zelenska still trying to please his “partners in the west”. how many marine drones were shot down from russia in the black sea ? ca. 150.
yes, i’m russian, so what? besides me, there are at least another 23 russians who hate putin! and we are getting more and more every day
zzzzzombie talk
you love it, you roll in your retarded controversial nonsense like a dog in a brown fox’s pooh…
he’s planted too denigrate the entire sites credibity imo. passive aggressively. it’s all layers, intelligence, counter intelligence role playing etc
:) keep wet dreaming. if stalin had been alive and not slowed down by lenin and his corrupt “yes-men”, and if he had somehow learned about this operation in advance and prevented the ruzzians from crossing the border unexpectedly, it would probably have led to a minor breakthrough and perhaps ukrozz could have been stopped out of sushia, but even in this scenario, it would have taken months for the incursion to be repelled. but oblomov is dead and probably spinning in his grave

hmm. it really work that way. these fifteen-year-old guys were all in charge of anything important. however, they will not be missed. they were probably fathers, husbands, they had friends, and all these people will vote against the jewish genocide. and as for this genocide, it will take place in such a way that the israelis run somewhere and randomly shoot threemillions people. this works on an industrial scale, dropping three-ton bombs on one of the most densely populated areas in the world

russian “offensive” 5km per day didn’t liberated pro russian territories yet , but caused 600k ukrainian casualties and counting. oh, and zelenskas’s assholes generals were so neglect ,lost donbass in less then week which will take them another 5 years to take it`n back, but zelenska protects not kiyv, playing bad with his enemies, using limited strikes instead of strategic bombing. he is utmost idiot..
yes, i’m russian, so what? besides me, there are at least another 23 russians who hate putin! and we are getting more and more every day
a gas transit station, big deal, turn the gas off and 10.000 troops died for what nothing lol… and did the russian not know, they built troops up there months before. waiting for the suckers.. the russians probably though even ukraine wouldnt be that stupid, but it appears they where

exactly, how many body bags, er, nato nazis does it take to cut a gas pipeline? 11k and 8billion in rental gear. shiiiiit, 4 drunk ukrops blew up nordstream, if you can believe that…but rumours have it, the russian pipeline worker turned the gas off, switched the on/off labels on the switch and ran off, letting the nazis turn the gas back on when they arrived….lol
my schizo extra moron hooter amerikunt envious–1120 dead ukies near kursk as. russia rapidly now advancing while ukies now trapped like u dumb rats in kursk
the only question is when zelenski will drop to his knees and beg for his life.
spamming your comments makes you look like a even bigger retard!
he needs a padded room, to go with his deranged commentary.
some people are beyond padded rooms and need to be put down.
they’ll have him terminated when they’ve finished using him i’d bet
which inevitably leads to the question of the role of intelligence. just as putin has had to purge his government of subversive, i’m suspecting he may have to review his intelligence operatives too.
i have looked at the capabilities of the russian army in comparison to ukraine (on youtube) and it looks to me the kursk region can be liberated in 1 day. also all enemy tanks, cannons and other equipment can be destroyed in this ‘longest day’ (to quote rommel). so the current situation is just to give nato forces hopium to bring more stuff end keep attacking until the end🔥🔥🔥

counting the fallen skittles is hardly uncovering hidden truths is it.
“beware the military industrial complex” president eisenhower warned, “he was anti fascist which is the collusion and control of government and the interests of the people by selfish corporate and monied people” according to dr steven greer he’s
not wrong but he’s not factually correct enough to be clear. corporations evolved from corpus christ as living legally entities by catholicisms theology. they only are allowed to exist by consent from the moral authority for rule of law.
