Russia has bagged its first ever contract to provide Orlan-10E drones it has been aggressively marketing for several years.
On January 22, Myanmar placed an order for Pantsir S1 anti-aircraft systems and Orlan-10E drones.
Although the reconnaissance drone was inducted by the Russian military around a decade ago, its export variant was first revealed at LIMA-2017 in Malaysia. A unit of this drone reportedly costs anywhere between $87,000 and $120,000.
According to media reports, an updated variant of Orlan-10 tactical UAV is expected to enter service with Russia's ground forces soon. The updated variant is expected to have a laser designator to allow it to pinpoint targets for precision-guided artillery and aircraft munitions.
