Russia experimenting with FPV drones deployed from Shahed UAVs, Ukraine says
Ukraine reports Russia is testing first-person-view drones launched from Shahed-type attack aircraft, though the tactic remains limited in scale.
Russia is experimentally deploying FPV (first-person-view) drones from Shahed-type attack unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Ukraine's military assessment. The tactic has not yet been deployed on a large scale, Ukrainian officials said.
FPV drones are small, agile aircraft typically controlled in real-time by operators with video feeds. Combining them with larger Shahed kamikaze drones could theoretically extend surveillance and targeting capabilities, though the operational utility of such integration remains unclear.
