1/9 I found this report online from @AtomicCherry & I couldn't resist to share it.
For all who are interested on 🇷🇺UAVs&UAVs. The shots below show the internal components of the UAV Orlan-10:
Internal combustion engine with ignition module 4.8-9V, 500mA manufactured by 🇯🇵SAITO.
2/9 The flight controller is based on the STM32F103 QFP100 microcircuit of the 🇫🇷-🇮🇹manufacturer STMicroelectronics. The MPXA4115A & MPXV5004DP microcircuits of the 🇺🇸company Freescale Semiconductor (currently owned by the 🇳🇱NXP Semiconductors NV) are used as pressure sensors.
3/9 The HMC6352 compass sensor was manufactured by the 🇺🇸American company Honeywell.
4/9 The GPS module is based on the GLONASS / GPS / QZSS LEA-6N receiver of the Swiss company u-blox paired with the Russian MNP-M7 (built on the American ADSP-BF534 chip manufactured by Analog Devices).
5/9 The telemetry transmission module is built on the ATxmega256A3 microcontroller of the 🇺🇸company Microchip, the transmission range is 902-928 MHz. The RF3110 transmitter is manufactured by the 🇩🇪company Municom. Receiver DP1205-C915 manufactured by the 🇩🇪company AnyLink.
6/9 GPS tracker. ICs labelled HC4060 2H7A201 & STC 12LE5A32S2 35i were made in 🇨🇳China.
7/9 Starter-generator PTN78020 manufactured by the 🇺🇸American company Texas Instruments Incorporated .
8/9 “The composition of the components of the majority of 🇷🇺Russian UAVs has long been no secret for Western countries. At least 10 military UAVs were removed by the 🇺🇸American MTR from 🇸🇾Syria only according to official data (the first was captured back in 2015). […]”
9/9 […]At least 8 - from the east of 🇺🇦Ukraine (at least one of them was raised in the Sea of Azov - this, by the way, explains the constant presence of 🇺🇸American and 🇬🇧British combat swimmers there).”

According to some sources, the Vietnamese-built VT-Pigeon UAV has just begun mass production. Now that it is more than a prototype, let’s shed some light on the model:
1/12
The VT-Pigeon UAV (as its brother VUA-SC-3G) is a product of the Viettel Military Industry and Telecommunications Group for the Vietnamese Border Defense Force. 2/
Both of them were born as an effort by the Vietnamese military industry to create a native UAV that could fulfill their most immediate needs in their constant brushes with China in the South China Sea. Both of them are Class I drones. 3/
