Co-ordinated work of ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance aircraft and artillery in the Krasnolimansky direction
Fighters from the «West» group inflicted fire damage on several brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As reported by NTV, Russian assault units were covered by a swarm of ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance UAVs and self-propelled artillery.
Just a few minutes after takeoff, the Z-16 detects enemy heavy armour. The coordinates are immediately transmitted to the 169th Motor Rifle Brigade of the 25th Army of the «West» grouping, and from there to the artillerymen. The chain is completed by a «Msta-S» self-propelled howitzer. The target is hit with the first shot.
The Z-16's low-profile wing is almost undetectable, even in clear weather, according to the soldiers. The camera with 30x magnification and thermal imager allow targets to be identified from a height of several hundred metres. Another significant advantage is the reliable and continuous communication channel. This is why ZALA recon drones are currently one of the main threats to the enemy in the Krasnolymansk direction.
