Orlan 10 - "best Russian drone"
Check out poor quaity of this UAV , there is nothing high tech about it. even with that said , i came across newly drafted soldier's post with a picture from "operating drone" class during military training. class was taught without the drone, and instructor was explaining soldiers how to operate drone by pointing fingers at a chalk biard :)

Lol @the description!
Teaching drone class without a drone & using the chalkboard for operation lol.
It's going to be interesting to see what the long term effects are of having drone technology come into warfare.
I'm sure Russia & other countries are who see the effects they've had here are writing checks as I type this comment.
Will we see future warfare where there's technology built to deal with drones that takes them out of the fight?
If not, eventually both sides will have a MILLION drones with bombs & guns on them shooting anybody + the other enemy drones.
We will see drones that can fly for hours. That can bomb civilian areas. Wars might be fought where both sides are sending their army of drones to drop bombs on civilian areas. People may have to go back to building bunkers in their backyards like from WW2 etc.
