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 dramatically, said the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense 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 dramatically. Now I looked, we have under 4 thousand per day [supplied to the troops].
On Tuesday, July 30, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, reported to President Vladimir Putin that the state defense order was fulfilled by 99.5%. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are 100% provided with demanded weapons. Among them, he named the Supercam UAV and the high-precision unmanned strike complex "KUB".
