The number of FPV drones (an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled by an operator with a first-person view thanks to an installed camera) in the Russian Armed Forces has increased sharply, said Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov during a working trip to the troops of the Moscow Military District.
One of the servicemen expressed a wish that each unit should have a certain number of quadcopters. This could help with objective control of combat missions, he explained.
The number of FPV drones has increased sharply. Now I looked, we have about 4 thousand per day [supplied to the troops].
