 in the battle against ISIS and the Syrian al-Qaeda branch (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham).

The number was confirmed by Major General Alezander Noviko, Head of the Russian General Staff’s Office for the Development of UAVs, on Friday.

Contrary to the US’ large arsenol of armed drones, the Russian counterparts are for the most part unarmed and used in reconnaissance roles in order to monitor ceasefire regions, scout jihadist-held frontline positions or to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid.

"The drones used in Syria have low radar, optical and acoustic signature," Novikov said.
