Quote: “A rare bird was shot down by anti-aircraft shooters and pilots of the 63rd brigade’s unmanned systems battalion – a Russian experimental reconnaissance drone Merlin-VR.
It can fly up to 5 km into the sky and spend 10 hours in the air, which is much longer than Supercam and ZALA UAVs.
The Merlin-VR was hunted by two FPV crews at once. The one that couldn’t destroy the target filmed the explosion and the flying debris in the sky.”
