During combat operations, the Russian Armed Forces for the first time used FPV drones at a range of about 40 km, This was done using a drone, acting as a carrier of attack drones. Russian resources reported this the day before.
The Russian military used a drone for the first time as an “aircraft”, by placing several FPV drones on it. At the same time, the carrier simultaneously acted as a scout, defining goals, as well as a signal repeater, control of attack drones was carried out through the “aircraft” and was considered effective. The dropped drones managed to hit their intended targets.
The use of such a ligament at a distance of approximately 40 km from the launch site the so-called “trench electronic warfare” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was completely reset, the landowners admitted this. As it turned out, the proximity of the drone to the repeater significantly reduces the effectiveness of electronic warfare. According to a publication on Ukrainian resources, The Russian military used such a combination against the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the first time. They also reported about the “zeroing” of electronic warfare equipment, who couldn't help.
The Russians hit our unit with FPV drones, which were delivered by a reusable UAV, on distance 40 kilometers from the front line. The queen conducted visual reconnaissance and sent the FPV to attack. It also functioned as a control and video signal repeater. The proximity of the relay queen to the FPV reduces the effectiveness of trench electronic warfare to zero.- says a message from one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces military.
On what part of the front and when exactly did this happen?, not reported, details of the new development are also unknown. Let's hope, that this experience in using the combination of “aircraft” and FPV drones will be introduced into the troops and will begin to be used more widely.
