Moscow is deploying low-cost FPV drones against Ukrainian reconnaissance UAVs, according to the Defense Ministry
Russia’s military is using small first-person-view (FPV) drones to intercept larger Ukrainian reconnaissance aircraft, according to a video released Monday by the Defense Ministry.
Drone warfare has become a defining element of the Ukraine conflict, with both sides adapting rapidly to the widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the battlefield.
The footage released on Monday features operations by Rubicon, a Russian drone warfare unit tasked with testing and implementing new tactics. The video shows multiple interceptions of fixed-wing reconnaissance drones, including a Polish-made FlyEye model painted in Ukraine’s “Army of Drones” livery.
