Ukrainian marines shot down 9 reconnaissance UAVs of the Russian Federation using FPV drones

The 38th Marine Brigade shot down 9 Russian reconnaissance drones using FPV drones.

The Come Back Alive Foundation said that these modernized FPV drones for air defense had been donated by their foundation.

“Operators of the 38th Marine Brigade destroy Russian reconnaissance UAVs in the South,” the foundation said.

The video shows the modernized FPV drones successfully catching up with Russian reconnaissance drones Supercam, Zala and Orlan.

Then the drone operator directs it to the wings or engine of the reconnaissance drone, after which the FPV drone’s warhead is activated.

These Russian UAVs are dangerous because they collect data on the movement of troops and equipment and the location of critical infrastructure.

Presumably, a pair of modernized FPV drones were sent after one reconnaissance drone.

This is evidenced by footage from a video in which a second drone watches the fall of a wounded Russian reconnaissance drone.

To defeat drones, a new munition has also been developed for these modernized drones.

Intercepting drones with the help of other drones is a relatively new and promising area in the development of air defense.

Unlike classical anti-aircraft missiles, interceptor drones have lower purchase and operating costs and can perform tasks by patrolling a given square, and in the future can be reusable.

In early April, it was reported that Brave1 had been looking for developers of an effective drone interceptor to destroy Russian reconnaissance drones.
