The Russians began to use FPV drones even at night: what they invented and how to protect the Armed Forces

For night raids, the Russian military, according to the expert, can use both budget and more expensive cameras, but these are not full thermal imagers. The Russian military began to be used in the war zone in Ukraine FPV-punks in the dark, installing night vision cameras on them. About it wrote a specialist in radio, electronics and radio electronic wrestling Sergei (Flash) Beskrestnov in his Telegram-channel on Thursday, November 16.

The expert suggested that for the operation of his drones at night the enemy can use two technical solutions: the first of which is the budget camera Runcam Night Eaghle 3, with an average cost up to $ 400. "These cameras are digital, not analog. Cheaper does not work in full darkness: they need twilight or a bright month. And more expensive work in the dark, but the visual inspection distances in them is worse than in the analog sight of night vision," the expert explained.

Sergei Flash added that the Russian invaders are not used in pairs with FPV-digitizers, so it is possible to protect against drones with "night" cameras in the same scheme as from weapons with night vision sights (PNB). As Velmet said in her video to avoid the detection of PNBs, the military should choose camouflage, which is not too different from the environment, not to wear large panels with Velcro and other contrasting elements.

It is necessary to check in advance how well the form and other equipment in the sights are visible. In early November, we wrote that the Russians learned to better use FPV-pions during assault. DeepState analysts have noted that the enemy is not in place and continues to improve the practice of using FPV-thedies, which is why the Ukrainian military needs to find the best methods of combating Russian UAVs.
