Orion / Inokhodets
A compact selection from this profile, with sources and limits. Other configurations and additional measurements remain in the full profile.
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]
Public-source profile. Performance claims are attributed; type links do not verify an incident identification.
Form, sound & identification limits
- The 1,000 kg / 24 h survey values and GUR’s 1,150 kg maximum / 24–30 h remain separate. The difference is not averaged or treated as proof of a new variant.[1][2]
- Length and span use only the same GUR configuration. This schematic is background geometry; neither silhouette resemblance nor an “Orion” team name in a report identifies this aircraft.[1]
Shape or sound alone cannot identify a drone. Follow local public-safety alerts; do not approach wreckage.
