Text: Orion Drone Sighted Over Bamako as Russia’s Air War in Mali Deepens 📌 A Russian-made Kronshtadt Orion drone, also known by its developmental name Inokhodets, was reportedly seen flying over Bamako today, with several videos of the sighting circulating across social media platforms. 💥 If confirmed, the appearance places one of Russia’s most capable unmanned strike platforms directly over Mali’s capital, reinforcing what open-source reporting has suggested for weeks: that the Africa Corps, the Russian Ministry of Defence’s successor to the Wagner Group, has folded the Orion into its operational order of battle in the Sahel.
