The conflict between Russia and Ukraine turned one year old last week. While attacks by Vladimir Putin’s troops on Ukrainian territory show no signs of stopping, Ukrainian soldiers are using drones as combat weapons. In the video posted on Youtube we can see FPV drones prepare for kamikaze attack against invading troops.

Drones are central to the conflict between the two countries, and according to the video description, the Ukrainian army is preparing 1,000 FPV drones to repel Russian attacks. The video below is compiled from video footage and includes about 420 kamikaze drones preparing for battle..

In the video, we see how drones and grenades are preparing for battle. User Suchominus compiled the images and posted them on his channel. In the video, he shows piles of drones in unspecified locations, as well as an absurd number of grenade launchers. In the video, we also see the moment when one of these grenades fires at a Russian tank.

Hard-to-intercept drones

According to Sukhominus, 1,000 FPV drones will be used by a specialized unit of the Ukrainian military intelligence called Kryla. There is not much information about the autonomy of FPV drones used in combat, other than their real effectiveness in action. Sukhominus claims that the Ukrainian army is receiving the necessary support to finance the operation.

According to rumors, FPV drones are capable of a flight range of about 4-5 km and reach speeds of up to 150 km/h after finding the target. The information is not officially confirmed, reported by an anonymous user Sugar_K, so we cannot confirm its accuracy. According to him, the autonomy of the drone is not important, as it is a one-way flight. “When I’m flying long distances, it’s all about battery life, but in this situation, honestly, you wouldn’t worry about it since you don’t have to go home.”

In addition, the maneuverability and speed of the drones make evasive maneuvers difficult for Russia. Once the drone finds a target, it is very difficult to swerve without the Russians using some kind of jamming system to block the video or control the device. Apparently, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue indefinitely, generating more destruction and death. Until the war is over, Ukraine is on the defensive against invasion and is counting on the help of drones to protect itself.
