Ukrainian Yak-52 pilots who shot down a Russian reconnaissance UAV Orlan-10 on APR 29, 2024
What’s unclear is whether the Orlan drone was engaged by the Yak-52 while in normal flight, after which its parachute deployed, or if it was only attacked once it had deployed its chute. Either way, it would seem to be the first instance of this kind of encounter during the war so far.
"Orlan" is one of the main Russian reconnaissance drones in the war against Ukraine
