The war between Ukraine and Russia has so far produced a variety of different drone tactics, and the most effective one currently is the first-person drone. Recently, it has been circulated on social networking sites that the Ukrainian army used this type of drone to successfully penetrate into buildings.

The Ukraine-Russia war has been going on for two years now. From the high-altitude large UAVs such as TB-2 Flagbearer and Seahawk-10 in the early days of the war, to small commercial 4 to 8-axis UAVs carrying grenades, RPG warheads or mortar shells As well as mid-air attack ammunition such as switch knives, first-person drones (First Person View, FPV) have also become a great threat to the front line.
The main difference between FPV drones and loitering munitions is that loitering munitions can set a cruise point, allowing the drone to fly to a designated target area following launch, and following locking the target, accelerate the dive attack. If the target does not appear, you can hover over the target area, and the operator interface is mainly controlled by the navigation map.
In FPV, the operator puts on a head-mounted display or uses a control handle with a display. The camera on the drone returns images in real time, allowing the operator to play a First Person Shooter (FPS) game. The operator can adjust the speed, height, direction and angle of the drone at any time, and finally accurately hit the target.
Recently, videos of the Ukrainian army using FPV to fly into Russian warehouses where armored vehicles and combat vehicles are parked at very slow speeds were circulated on social networks. After identifying the target and then accelerating and sprinting to blow up the armored vehicles, this shows that FPV can achieve extremely low cost. In the past, cruise missiles equipped with terrain comparison guidance (Terrestrial Guidance) might only be used to accomplish this.
Soldiers with experience in the Ukrainian and Russian frontline battlefields also said that following staying on the frontline for a long time, the sounds of medium and large high-altitude drones such as TB-2 or Orland-10 are very easy to identify, and they can usually be detected by field air defense units and notified in advance of possible Unit under attack.
As for small multi-axis drones, although they are also very difficult to defend once morest, frontline officers and soldiers have widely used shotguns to deal with such targets. Even though they often accidentally shoot down their own drones because it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, it is still more valuable than the lives of officers and soldiers. Good deal.
Therefore, frontline officers and soldiers currently believe that the most dangerous drone is the FPV drone, because this type of drone can fly at very low altitudes, fast or slow, and is very difficult to defend once morest when accelerating before attacking.
In view of the significant impact of drones on the battlefield, Ukrainian President Zelensky has recently officially announced that he will establish a new military branch, the “Drone Army.” In addition to being the first of its kind in the world, there is currently a need for many experts, including the United States. The appeal should be followed as soon as possible.
