Fixed-wing symbolOrlan-30
A Russian reconnaissance aircraft from STC, related to Orlan-10 but with a different published airframe and sensor configuration. GUR’s catalogue and Rosoboronexport’s export sheet describe separate declared performance envelopes. Flight range, radio reach and laser-designation capability are different properties; none identifies a model in an incident without a source naming it.[1][2][3]
