Russian soldiers on the front lines have used a "mother drone" UAV for the first time, which served as a control and video signal repeater for operators. The attack occurred at a distance of about 40 kilometers. This drone attack completely neutralized the effect of the so-called trench warfare electronic warfare (EW) systems.
The "Reporter" publication, citing open sources, emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces used this concept for the first time.
The Russian military struck with FPV drones, which were delivered by a reusable mother UAV, at a distance of 40 kilometers from the front line. The mother drone conducted visual reconnaissance and directed the drones to attack. It also functioned as a control and video signal repeater. The proximity of the mother-repeater to the FPV reduces the effectiveness of trench warfare EW to zero.
