The network has updated information about the tests of the domestic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) “Orion”. Now we know when the device will be tested as a tank destroyer.

RIA Novosti managed to find out that specialists have already begun work on equipping Orion with modernized anti-tank missiles of the Vikhr-M complex. It is planned to complete the process in the near future, in connection with which combat tests against tanks have already been scheduled for the fall of 2021.

It is expected that the UAV, as part of trial attacks, will strike at ground targets that mimic armored vehicles. Most often, in such cases, the military uses already decommissioned tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other equipment unsuitable for full use.

We are waiting for fresh details on the results of testing “Orion” in a new role in the coming months.
