The Ministry of Defense showcased its latest UAV offering at a military fair in Moscow earlier this week.
Drones have changed the way humans fight wars. From titanic forces like the U.S. military down to small militias in war zones worldwide, unmanned aerial vehicles have brought invaluable surveillance and attack capabilities to commanders all over the globe.
On Tuesday, Russia unveiled its newest method of countering counter-drone efforts—make the UAV look like an owl., a new 11-pound aircraft was unveiled at the Defense Ministry's annual military expo in the outskirts of Moscow. Designed to look like a polar owl in flight, the drone is actually armed with a laser beam to guide artillery and attack aircraft down onto enemy positions.
The drone's developer told Tass the disguise would allow the aircraft to sneak up on targets without being spotted. Any eagle-eyed observed, though, will be able to spot the gaping hole where an owl's beak should be, and it seems unlikely the drone will fly in the same manner—or with the same silence—as a real bird.
