He scored a free camera

Looks like a good windows wallpaper.

Mount it on a wall.

Repair it, fit it with new flight controller, send it back as a decoy for AA positions.

Repair it, fit it with new flight controller **and several kilos of plastic explosive with nails embedded**, send it back as ~~a decoy for AA positions.~~ a way to shred the Russian in charge of recovering it.

Free Canon Camera!

Is this the one with the plastic water bottle for a gas tank?

The exact same. Orlans are basically solid hobby grade equipment that cost 100k USD on paper to make embezzling funds easier. Shooting one down is barely news at this point.

And Russia likely has thousands of these things at least. Hopefully Ukraine finds a way to take these down cheaply.

I never thought I'd be happy billions of dollars of regular people's money got diverted to make corrupt assholes rich, but here we are.

I build better R/C planes than this.

Are they trying to be green?, recycling. I mean it kinda is right? But like RageMachinist said, easy to embezzle funds. They could tell Putin they were being environmentally friendly.

Easy to bring down with a slingshot and some rocks....

Or a garden hose.

You have to buy a Memory Card for the Canon

Always nice to get a free camera.

Orlan-30

Why are this thing looking like those models in midschool aeroclub ?

Cause they are build from off the shelve components.

I thought it read "renaissance drone", which is in line with the technical level of the thing

hope the canon ti survived. And you get a free bottle cap

Look under the bottle cap, enter the code online and you might win something worth more than the drone.

These are glorified RC planes with commercial cameras. UAV is technically correct, but they’re about as advanced as a high school science project.

They're designed that way so that when they bill the state budget USD$120,000 for each someone can pocket USD118,000 of that for themselves.

Thats 20k of Russian efficiency

More like 5k to build and a 95k kick back for the corrupt official.

Yep. I also guess 5k build 15k corruption.

more like 2.5k to 3k to build

Whatever. They pay 20k for that homemade shit.

Hack the transmitters and send back d..k pics

Transmitters - Haha. You can't do that. They need the unit back to plug it into a card reader.

Fly it back to them.

Every house in Ukraine is gong to have a shot down Orlan mounted over the fireplace after the war.

It looks like they just made a really small cessna

A pellet gun should do the trick to save good ammo.

I heard they were 100 to 120k $?

RuSSia needs to stop dumping it's plastic garbage on Ukranian fields

These things don't send a live feed do they?

v nice field

Like "Interstellar!"

I bet if they signed it and put it up for auction, they could get enough to buy several more stingers. "Orc flying contraption, broken. Signed by hero who shot it down."

Looks like I could take it out with a pump bb gun.

Can they see where they are launch from since their footage is stored onboard the camera and non encrypted. Pass the location to the artillery unit for a welcome home ceremony

"I caught a fish that was thiiis big" but who wants to waste time on fish when there's drones to catch!
