FPV will kill 1 out of 20 motorcyclists: why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not sent on storms of armored vehicles

According to Sergiy Varakin, the commander of the UAV unit of the 58th Brigade, the Russian troops are constantly changing tactics and improving, analyzing and correcting mistakes. Sergiy Varakin, the commander of the drone unit of the 58th Brigade, told why Russian troops were not as common as before, storming heavy armored vehicles. About it reports Newsweek.

"Recently, the Russians stopped off the offensive with the use of armored vehicles, because when the Ukrainian FPV arrives and beats the armor, everyone who is inside is killed," Varakin said. According to him, Bagi, Cad bikes and motorcycles are now used more often. "And when one FPV flies to 20 motorcyclists, he will kill only one," explained the representative of the 58th brigade.

He also noted that Russian troops are constantly changing tactics and improving, analyzing and correcting their mistakes. Yegor Firsov, a senior UAV company sergeant, was absent from the front line in eastern Ukraine for only a few days. But, according to him, this time was enough for the tactics of fighting using UAV along the front line changed.

He explained that when he studies with the help of a reconnaissance drone, what is happening on the front line, a stranger may think that he is looking for armored vehicles - tanks, artillery tools and more. But most often, hostile purposes are Bagi, motorcycles and golf caras, which are trying to move forward. Fursova's detachment of 12 people spent the first part of September near the battle of the Eastern cities Pokrovsk and Toretsk.

The unit eliminates about 200 Russian military goals on a monthly basis. In mid -September, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in 2024 Russia plans to increase the total production of drones by almost ten times. According to Putin, in 2023, about 140,000 drones will be transferred to the Russian military. Vadim Mazevich, former Commander of the Battalion of the UAV of the 3rd OSHBD, noted that the Russian MIC is not standing still. "Their military-industrial complex is developing every day.

There is evidence that Russia launches up to 250 drones on the" very narrow "sections of the front, somewhere between 4. 5 and 5 kilometers in length during the day," he explained. Ukraine may win as drones, but Russia - in their number, says Mazevich. "Earlier, when we just dropped homemade devices from Mavic, they have already opened factories and have already sent us factory drones," he said. Ukrainian companies may be produced by drones, but many drones are coming from abroad.
