Each Ukrainian Soldier May Soon Be Hit by Russian FPV Drones on Battlefield

The Russian Armed Forces are widely using various modifications of unmanned aerial vehicles, among them FPV drones, in the special military operation zone to perform combat missions without the loss of military personnel.

In the next five months, the Russian military will have enough first­-person view (FPV) drones to attack each and every Ukrainian soldier at the front line, Ukrainian serviceman Sergei Beskrestnov told the Mi Ukraina (We are Ukraine) TV channel.

An FPV drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fitted with a camera that wirelessly transmits video feed to goggles, a headset, or a mobile device carried by a drone operator.

"We can say with a 99 percent probability that each Ukrainian soldier will die because it is impossible to survive FPV drone attacks in a clear field. Small arms will not help," Beskrestnov said.
He added that Ukrainian infantry will have to "be permanently stationed underground" on the battlefield to avoid the attacks.
