Ukrainian Defense Forces down new russian reconnaissance drone
According to Militarnyi, a video of the downing was posted by Ukrainian volunteer and blogger Serhii Sternenko. The footage shows a Ukrainian FPV drone intercepting a new type of russian drone.
Upon closer inspection, the drone can be identified as a new development by the russian company ZALA Aero.
The first drones of the new ZALA Z-20 type were demonstrated to the public in 2023, and they are now being actively used by the enemy in the sky over Ukraine.
According to the manufacturer’s official information, the drone is capable of flying at a distance of over 100 km and staying in the air for over 6 hours in patrol mode. With a maximum weight of 18 kg, the drone is equipped with an HD camera, which allows for the detection and identification of targets over long distances. The drone can be used by the enemy to help Lancets in targeting.
In the photo can be seen the moment of interception of the russian reconnaissance drone Zala Z-20 by the Ukrainian FPV-Drone (Photo credits: Sternenko).
