The report focuses on the #Orlan-10 - the #UAV that sits at the heart of Russia’s warfighting capabilities. Fieldwork conducted by RUSI in Ukraine over the course of 2022 confirmed that the sub-systems of the Orlan-10 are heavily reliant on foreign-made microelectronics.
The Orlan-10 is manufactured by St. Petersburg-based Special Technologies Centre LLC (STC). The US sanctioned STC in 2016 for the company’s support of 🇷🇺interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections. Since February, STC has come under further 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇹🇼 and 🇯🇵 sanctions.
