“Russian UAVs are in the sky day and night”: Ukrainian Armed Forces lose their superiority in FPV UAVs – media

Some Ukrainian advocates advocate flying offensive drones and fear that the advantage Ukraine once had over Russia has been lost. This is because Moscow is investing heavily to support the drone industry. Sky News reports this.

Ukrainian FPV drones were highly effective on the battlefield and were also low cost. However, Russian troops are now actively using unmanned aerial vehicles modified for warfare.

According to one of the commanders of the unmanned aerial vehicle unit with the call sign “Komrad”, Russian UAVs are “always in the air, both day and night.”

“What we are seeing is that they are increasing the production of drones for reconnaissance, surveillance and attack,” he explained, adding that drones are a game changer.

He also warned that Ukraine could find itself in a difficult situation if it becomes vulnerable to drones.

In 2023, the Russian Federation significantly increased FPV drone production. In May, the state-owned defense firm announced plans to produce up to 3,000 such devices a month.

Let us recall that on November 4, Ukrainian officer Sergei Beskrestnov, with the call sign “Flash”, reported that Ukraine maintained equality for the Blues.

But there are seven times more FPV donors in the Russian Federation. Moreover, the Defense Forces have no effective way to combat the Lancet UAV. The Armed Forces of Ukraine protect themselves from “scalpels” with networks, electronic warfare equipment, small arms and air defense.

It was also reported that the previous day, on November 9, a publication appeared in The Wall Street Journal, where it was said that, against the background of serious losses in Ukraine, the Kremlin decided to return helicopter engines transferred from Egypt and Pakistan. and Brazil.
