| Source measurement | The Russian armed forces have used the Eleron-3 in the Russian-Ukrainian War in Donbas since 2014, and in military operations in the Syrian Civil War since 2015. In the early stages of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine , Russian reconnaissance drones like the Eleron-3 were rarely used; but that changed later on.
