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)


 * 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)

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

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. 218.180.212.7 (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

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)


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

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)
