Russian troops have been actively using inexpensive "Molniya" reconnaissance drones for frontline surveillance. Previously, Russia relied on more expensive drones such as the "Orlan," "Zala," and "Supercam," which cost tens of thousands of dollars each.
Notable that the Ukrainian-British company UForce has developed a new kamikaze strike drone called "Bucha." The drone is equipped with a 5.5 kg warhead and can fly up to 200 km.
In addition, Ukrainian company ROBONEERS unveiled an upgraded version of the remotely operated combat module "SHABLYA K-2." The module is designed to provide fire support for infantry and neutralize enemy forces at short range.
