Have taken into account the experience of Ukraine: in the United States want to officially arm yourself FPV-Drons-Defense One
Michael Brabner reported that the goal is to put FPV in the 2026 financial year. According to him, FPV drones will use infantry platoons, and "tied" drones will equip arms of armored units. "We persistently strive for both of these programs to become a record in the 2025 financial year," the lieutenant colonel said.
According to journalists, FPV-therots have become known during the war in Ukraine-both sides use them to destroy equipment, the price of which significantly exceeds the cost of quadcopters. For its part, the US Army units were experimented with tied drones that use a wire power source to stay in the air for a long time. According to Michael Brabner, FPV-aroma can provide an advantage in intelligence, communication, electronic war and strikes.
At the same time, the publication states that the United States does not seek to repeat the "homemade" and "situational" approach of Ukraine. "The weapon can be safely attached to them and then lifted in the air. It is here that we will have to go through the security check of detonators, flight suitability and compliance with insensitive ammunition," the American officer said. It is unknown which companies can provide FPV-pans of the US Army.
The publication emphasized that US military faces restrictions on the use of Chinese drones. Recall that last September, Bild reported, citing its sources that the United States was concerned about mass use in Ukraine by FPV. Yes, the Pentagon does not yet know how to protect military equipment from them.
