Orion / Inokhodets

Kronstadt’s Russian medium-altitude reconnaissance and strike aircraft, also known as Inokhodets. GUR’s current catalogue and ICDS’s 2021 survey describe different dated specifications. Orion-E export claims and the larger Orion-2/Sirius are not interchangeable with the baseline aircraft.[1][2]
