Roughly a year ago, Ukrainian defenders began actively using FPV drones to intercept russian reconnaissance UAVs. Over time, these systems evolved into a distinct class: anti-aircraft drones.This solution offered a cheap and effective way to counter UAVs like the Orlan-10 or various Zala models, which could loiter over the frontlines, detect targets, and adjust artillery fire. What’s more, launching an FPV drone does not give away the operator’s position, meaning launch points can be placed very close to the front.
