New tactics of the Russians: "Molnia" UAVs carry 2 FPVs each, but "they are not simple anymore" — "Flash" warned about the threat (photo)

Share: The Russian army has begun to use a new tactic, using the "Molniya" type drone in the war with Ukraine. Drones have received a new control method. The Russians launch "Lightning" with two FPV drones in Ukraine, controlling them with the help of mobile communication. Ukrainian radio technology expert Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov talked about the new tactics of the Russian Armed Forces in his Telegram channel on the evening of October 31.

The enemy continues to launch "Molniya" drones carrying several FPV drones over Ukraine. However, these are no longer simple "Lightning". "The Molniya UAV is flying in our direction, which carries two FPV drones, but they are no longer simple, but controlled via mobile communication," Serhii "Flash" noted. The expert also showed what one of these drones looks like, in which the military discovered control via mobile communication.

Serhii Beskrestnov also explained how the Russians' new tactics work in practice. According to him, the enemy directs "Lightning" to places where there is stable LTE coverage, and then drops FPV. "That is, Molniya "takes" drones to places with stable LTE coverage and drops them 5-10 km from the target," the expert noted. The military records such cases more and more often, "Flash" added. He called to take into account the new tactics of the Russian Armed Forces.

Back in September, the military recorded that Russian "Molniya" drones began to carry FPV drones into the Ukrainian rear. Serhii "Flash" told on September 22 that "Molnia" received reinforced batteries instead of a combat unit. In October, the expert reported that the Russians "went further" and started launching "Molniya" drones, carrying more FPV drones, over Ukraine. Yes, the military noticed two FPV drones on them.
