The governor recalled that this unit was created on the personal instructions of President Vladimir Putin in order to carry out tasks in cooperation with the Rosgvardiya.
"An absolutely combat unit, one of the best, which is fighting the enemy, or rather the drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Unfortunately, there are losses: 98 Orlan fighters were wounded, 7 people died," Gladkov said.
