Russia Deploys FPV Drones in Ukraine, Phasing Out Artillery and Tanks
Russia has begun replacing artillery and tanks with first-person view (FPV) drones in areas of Ukraine affected by destruction. The shift marks a tactical evolution in Russia's approach to urban and contested zones. This change has intensified the complexity of combat in eastern Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian-independent-information-agency, Russia is deploying thousands of FPV drones in regions where Ukrainian forces have caused significant destruction. These drones are used for targeted strikes and reconnaissance, reducing reliance on traditional heavy weaponry. Forbes corroborates this shift, noting the strategic move toward drone-based operations. The exact number of drones deployed remains unspecified, but the scale of the transition is evident in the operational adjustments observed on the frontlines.
