Night reconnaissance with ZALA Z-16: Marines disrupted the rotation of AFU forces

  During aerial reconnaissance, the ZALA Z-16 unmanned aerial system detected the night movement of AFU equipment and personnel in the southern Donetsk region. With the help of a high-resolution thermal imager mounted on the ZALA Z-16, servicemen of the Marine Brigade of the Vostok force group were able to see and disrupt the rotation of enemy forces in a timely manner. The coordinates of the targets were promptly transmitted to the command centre. The MLRS crews drove to the firing position and struck, using 122-mm rockets. Objective control footage from the ZALA Z-16 recorded the destruction of five armoured combat vehicles, an electronic warfare station and more than 20 personnel. ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance UAV operators monitor the rear areas of the AFU 24 hours a day and identify priority targets for destruction. The ZALA UAV is resistant to the effects of REB, is equipped with onboard AI for searching and identifying objects, and is capable of real-time video streaming over fifty kilometres away. Thanks to these qualities and high technical characteristics, the ZALA Z-16 UAS has become an indispensable means of reconnaissance and fire correction on the line of contact and behind enemy lines.
