Ukraine will receive a party

Commenting on the supply of these UAVs, the Defense Express observers noted that it is probably a fairly old RQ-11 Raven drone, developed by the American company Aerovironment, which is a compact drone for exploration and tactical surveillance. This unit is actively used in the US Army and other countries for intelligence, observation operations and targets. Its main feature is compactness and mobility, which makes it ideal for use in small units.

The drone is started by hand, which allows you to quickly start work without the need for difficult preparation. Management can be carried out both in manual mode and automatically on predefined routes. Equipping with high -quality optical and infrared cameras allows RAVEN to transmit images and video flow in real time, providing commanders with up -to -date information about the enemy's actions, location of objects and changes on the battlefield.

The drone and the control station is easy enough to be transported by one person. This gives the units the opportunity to quickly unfold the drone in the war zone, including complex areas inaccessible to the pedestrian patrol. In the conditions of war in Ukraine, such devices can be useful for exploration of advanced positions and in operations at the level of mouth and platoons, which requires ease of deployment and autonomy of drone.

Meanwhile, observers emphasized that in terms of modern realities, this drone is doubtful. "Therefore, it is possible that some other company has decided to use the same name for its UAV. Even though the RQ-11 Raven became the first widespread drone in its class and actually laid the basics of using UAVs in infantry,"-added Analysts.
