The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced the approval for the supply of a new unmanned aerial system of the tactical level called "Black Widow". This latest technological solution is distinguished by its capabilities and various functions, which make it an important component of modern combat strategy.
Review of "Black Widow"
The Black Widow drone is a quadcopter that can be used both during the day and at night. This system has the ability to perform tasks in the FPV (First-Person View) strike format, which allows for pinpoint strikes on targets.
One of the key features of the "Black Widow" is its versatility and relatively low cost, which allows these drones to be widely used in combat conditions. It can work both in a reusable format and as a single-use strike drone. In the case of one-time use, the drone is equipped with an enhanced explosive charge, which makes it effective for striking strategic enemy targets.
Comparison with "Orlan-10"
Against the background of the news about the Black Widow, it is also worth mentioning the Orlan-10 unmanned reconnaissance drone, which poses a significant threat due to its capabilities. Recently, Ukrainian defenders managed to shoot down "Orlan-10" at an altitude of more than 3 and a half kilometers. This drone is able to cover a distance of 600 kilometers, rise to a height of up to 5 kilometers, and its radius of action is 120 kilometers.
"Orlan-10" has the ability to identify targets, adjust artillery fire, intercept radio communications, block mobile communications, "break" the GPS signal and drop ammunition from a low altitude. Therefore, the effectiveness of new unmanned systems, such as Black Widow, in combating such threats is extremely important.
