Russians actively use FPV-drones against the Armed Forces: what tactics they use

A party that will be the first to adjust the production of cheap UAV-Kamikadze in large numbers, according to analysts. The Russians began to massively produce and apply FPV-punks in the war in Ukraine. Defense Express spoke about new models and tactics for the use of such devices. In Ukraine, FPV drones are highly popular due to the cheapness and efficiency of working on the battlefield.

Many Ukrainian volunteers are engaged in harvesting aircraft from Chinese components for racing quadcopters, which are then equipped with explosives or ammunition. Russian engineers try not to keep up with them and offer the armies of the aggressor country, some of them are quite original. Analysts believe that the advantage can be the party that will be the first to launch mass production with the lowest cost, and will find effective ways to combat enemy UAVs.

Recently, it became known that the Russians are tested by quadcopters armed with anti-personnel mines MES-50. Such drones-Kamikadze must explode under the operator command using a remote electrical detonator. According to Defense Express, Turkish Kargu Drones from STM are already using this technology. In addition to the combat part, they are equipped with an automatic target system, which greatly simplifies the operator's operation. Russian drones do not have this, but they are no less dangerous.

Even craftsmen from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have thought of use drones as a relay. They screwed a small device and antennas to the DJI Mavic commercial copter to increase the flight range of other drones and strengthen the signals. It has come to the fact that in Russia they are trying to centrally produce shock FPVs. They recently introduced their copyers called "binoculars", which are collected from Chinese components.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also reported the use of the Russian Dronov-Kamikadze Bomerang. Experts seized one of these devices and found details from the same China. In March it became known that the bakery in Tambov gathers combat drones for the Armed Forces for $ 450. They use production capacity to produce 200 copters worth about $ 455. Meanwhile, the plant in Odessa produces 500 drones per month worth from $ 50 to $ 1000.
