Russian FPV kamikaze drones have increased their range to 16 km using a digital communication channel. This was reported by a fighter of the Guards Brigade of the Marine Corps of the Northern Fleet named Yegor with the call sign "Yoga".
No one has been able to fly further than us yet. The last time I covered a distance of more than 16 kilometers using a digital communication channel, while other operators only reached a flight range of seven kilometers. Our own inventions help us achieve such results, which we do not want to disclose yet.
According to the fighter, the work of an FPV drone operator is similar to a kind of video game "Find and Destroy". However, you should not give in to excitement, because a combat drone is not a toy at all, but a formidable weapon.
Working as an operator is really addictive. The "drone operator" specialty itself is popular among young people in particular. The environment in which the fighter works is very close to any teenager. A remote control with sticks, glasses or a screen monitor that displays the image from the drone - this is something that even a ten-year-old child can handle.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the modernized BMP-2M surpassed the American Bradley in firing range by two times.
