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.
