russian occupiers say that the advantages of the Scorpion-M drone are its high mobility and maneuverability. The drone can move both on rough terrain and in urban areas. One of the russian occupiers emphasized that the Scorpion-M is a type of FPV-drone, but a wheeled one. It can carry a larger payload than a UAV due to the fact that the drone moves on the ground and has a larger battery capacity.

"It can deliver ammunition, food, water, or some medicines to a newly occupied position," the occupier said.

Earlier Defense Express reported that russia had mentioned its rare Orion UAV in the testing phase of the modernized version.
