Russian Armed Forces personnel have begun to use drones more frequently to transport FPV drones to the drop-off point. With the help of the so-called "mother" of drones, it is possible to increase the range of strike UAVs many times over. This is written by Eurasian Times.
Military analyst Vijayner Thakur stated that the range of FPV drones averages 10 km. But if you use a drone repeater, it doubles.
According to the Eurasian Times, the Russian Armed Forces first used the "mother" of drones in September 2024. The enemy spotted Russian FPV drones at a distance of 40 km from the front line.
In addition to delivering strike UAVs, the drone carrier conducted reconnaissance and also performed the functions of a signal repeater. This tactic proved to be very effective.
