The recent successes in the use of FPV drones demonstrate that Ukrainian military forces are finding new ways to effectively counter Russian drones, particularly the Shahed-136.

Recently, the "Wild Hornets" project introduced new FPV drones designed specifically for the destruction of enemy UAVs. These drones boast impressive specifications: speeds exceeding 160 km/h, a maximum flight altitude of 3000 meters, and target acquisition facilitated by artificial intelligence.

Military expert Agil Rustamzade notes in his Telegram channel that to enhance the effectiveness of FPV drones, they need to be equipped with compact automatic small-caliber weapons. He emphasizes that one-time attacks using UAVs can be prohibitively expensive, making it crucial to find an optimal solution. Additionally, the installation of compact radar will make the drones more versatile, enabling them to operate in various weather conditions.

Incidentally, Ukrainian military channels reported the downing of a Russian UAV "Orion/Inokhodets" in the Kursk region. This drone was destroyed using the "Strela-10" surface-to-air missile system, indicating an improvement in Ukraine's aerial combat capabilities.
