The S-70 Okhotnik seems like russia's attempt to catch up in the heavy drone game, but it’s clear they’ve got a long road ahead—still stuck in the testing phase, with financial hurdles to boot.
It’s a far cry from what we’re seeing out of China, where drones like the Wing Loong and CH series are already being produced and deployed at scale. While Russia’s pushing hard, they’re trailing behind both in tech and deployment speed.
The real question is whether they can overcome these obstacles before others leave them in the dust. 🚀

In an attempt to make things easier for people who want drone shots but unsure what to ask for, here's another simple yet effective one- Orbit.
- Also known as "Point of Interest" the UAV typically strafes a 360 degree circle while maintaining focus on a central point such as a building or in this case the Isle of Fidra in East Lothian. This shot makes great use of the parallax effect whereby the foreground (Island) and background (Baps of Fife) appear to move at different speeds.
The vast majority of pilots use automatic settings to lock on to the target, and although technically maintaining a perfect 360 circle, I find that for cinematic effect it is better to fly this manually. Often these shots are cut to 180 degree arcs, or less in the edit in order to maintain the viewers' attention.
Check out this “drone mothership” which launches mini-drones for search and rescue!
Meet the MorphoLander. This hybrid drone acts like a mothership, capable of flying over, landing on, and even walking across the most challenging terrains. See for yourself in the video below!
It's equipped with four articulated legs, allowing it to tackle uneven surfaces with ease, all while carrying a swarm of "worker bee" mini-drones on its back. These mini-drones can be released to carry out intricate tasks, from industrial inspections to seismic surveys to life-saving search-and-rescue missions, extending their reach far beyond the mothership's initial landing spot.
The genius of the MorphoLander lies in its solution to a common drone dilemma: battery life. While the MorphoLander itself has a modest battery lifespan of 12 minutes, the smaller drones it deploys can continue their missions for longer, ensuring a broader and more effective coverage area.
As we work with our own drone fleet in our bespoke scan-to-BIM processes for photogrammetry and point cloud creation, we are always impressed with new drone innovation and technology. Congratulations to Dzmitry Tsetserukou and his brilliant team at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology for bringing new innovations to search and rescue operations.
