Russian military developing dragonfly-sized drones
Russia is designing a drone the size of a dragonfly that will be "next-to inaudible, easy to operate and very maneuverable", according to state-owned United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC). The drone will be used in "battlefield reconnaissance, police and counter-terrorism operations", according to UIMC.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia’s United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC), a state tech firm, is working on a tiny reconnaissance drone that will be small enough to fit in one hand, its press office said Thursday.

"This miniature helicopter will be the size of a dragonfly. It will be small enough to fit in one hand, basically a pocket-sized drone. It will be next to inaudible, easy to operate and very maneuverable," the company said in a press release.

UIMC is designing several types of drones that will come in different forms and will be fine-tuned to perform tasks depending on the landscape and weather conditions.
