The Defence Ministry of Belarus plans to purchase a batch of FPV drones

By the end of 2024, the ministry plans to purchase six Chimera CX10 UAVs.

The Chimera CX10 is a 10-inch long-range FPV drone made by the Chinese iFlight company.

the Defence Ministry of Belarus plans to spend about BYN 46,000 ($9,895) per drone. The difference in prices may be due to the purchase of additional components for the UAV (batteries, etc.); 2) corruption in the procurement process.

We may assume that Chimera CX10 UAVs will be used to train FPV drone operators in the Belarusian Armed Forces.

the Belarusian MoD has purchased/plans to purchase the following UAVs: 13 Supercam S350 drones made in Russia; up to 10 Bekrut-3 tactical reconnaissance drones made in Belarus; 9 drones of the Chinese Autel company
