The EI-2 ("Borodach-2) is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed, developed, and produced by the nation of Mongolia. The aircraft recorded its first-flight on September 12th, 2021 and was showcased in a July 10th, 2022 military parade presented by Mongolian Armed Forces, the air vehicle photographed atop a fixed metal presentation assembly mounted onto the rear of a 6x6 light-class military truck. The aircraft adds a tactical, over-the-horizon Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance (ISR) role for the nation and considerably broadens its local military development and production capabilities.

The aircraft is given a conventional design form: the fuselage is a centralized nacelle housing the optics set, avionics, and engine. The mainplanes are of straight shape with clipped tips and mounted at shoulder height from the dorsal line. A twin-boom tail arrangement makes up the aft portion of the aircraft, the booms conjoined by a shared horizontal plane. Each boom terminates in a vertical plane. The engine drives a two-bladed propeller unit in "pusher" arrangement at the rear of the fuselage nacelle. A fixed, wheeled tricycle undercarriage allows for ground-running. The optics set is held in a traversing blister pack at the "chin" position.

The aircraft reportedly has an operational range out to 62 miles with an operating altitude maximum of 10,000 feet.©MilitaryFactory.com
