Servicemen of units of unmanned motorized rifle formations deployed in the Kemerovo region, in the course of training conducted reconnaissance in difficult weather conditions.

According to the plan of the combat training, the unmanned aerial vehicle professionals, using the Orlan-10, conducted reconnaissance activities over forested terrain, during which a camouflaged camp of the mock enemy was discovered. The task was complicated by gusty wind and rain.

The data was transmitted to the command post, and then the available information and coordinates were sent to the artillery crews for strikes on the targets they had located.

About 50 servicemen and more than 10 units of military and special equipment were involved in the exercise.
