Does nobody notice that the pictures in the sources show a drone with a complet different form? DatAlien (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reported vs. actually possible specs

It states this drone can reach over 80,000 ft and mach 2, I highly doubt that's possible considering it's a single prop petrol powered RC plane.

The only source in this is Russian spec sheets, which are highly suspect in this case considering the claims. 68.235.95.5 (talk) 02:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The numbers in this article are still implausible and completely lack citations. I found better (admittedly still possibly biased) numbers from TASS and Sputnik on combat range and max speed as well as a citation for endurance. Unfortunately, Wikipedia's filter still rejects these references as depreciated sources. But it's still better than nothing; here's what I got.

From Russia Set to Deploy Tactical Drones in the Arctic by Sputnik a max speed of 150kmh and the 16hr endurance is listed, and Russian army begins to use Orlan-10 drone against Ukrainian armor — media by TASS claims a combat range of 110km. If anyone can fix this, I highly recommend you do. WynnAurelium (talk) 03:27, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How is 15 kilogram 33 lbs and 1400km 870 miles Combat Range possible? That is an implausible amount of energy capacity.

The specs state that it has a capacity of 6kg of payload and a max takeoff weight of 16kg. The payload capacity certainly doesn't include fuel; fuel never counts as payload. It's just the stuff that it can carry (i.e., mostly cameras in this case). The max takeoff weight includes everything. Let's assume that the difference is 16-6 = 10kg. It's stated here that the fuel is glow fuel, which is roughly .8kg/L. The alleged engine, the Saito Manufacturing FA-62B, states that it consumes 20cc of fuel per minute. 10kg / .8kg/L = 12,500cc (12.5 liters of fuel, which is obviously way too much. With 12,500cc of fuel, consuming it at 20cc/minute, you get 10.42 hours of flight at full throttle. 16 is ridiculous. 6 even seems exaggerated. However, 6 is claimed in one of the images for the Orlon 30 that are on this page. --Hut8 (talk) 03:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honda infrared camera?

I can see the letters "HONDA JAPAN" on the Youtube movie but it is not a Honda Motor Company's product. It is just a connector manufactured by Honda Tsushin Kogyo.[1][2] 218.180.212.7 (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Price of the drone

The link says a drone alone cost the price stated not the system. 192.44.3.2 (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's one point. The other is, that the link #10^[1] to Forbes can't be reached to verify this information. 37.131.187.212 (talk) 20:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 16, 2018 shootdown

The drone shot down on August 16, 2018 isn't an Orlan-10. The Russian military hasn't publicly acknowledged this drone, but it is a known model some Ukranians call "Kartograf" and Oryx calls the Orlan-20. While it has some commonality with the Orlan-10, it's more likely a derivative of AFM-Servis' Ptero family of UAVs. Evidently the Ukranian government agrees, as they lifted large portions of the previous article word-for-word in their own press release. WynnAurelium (talk) 18:59, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
