The external pilot of the 68th separate hunting brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush successfully destroyed an enemy FPV drone with fiber optic control.
The corresponding video was published by the Telegram channel "About Communication from Serhiy Flash".
According to the report, the Russian drone, controlled via optical fiber, was moving along the road with the aim of attacking previously spotted Ukrainian equipment.
On the route, the drone was detected by a Ukrainian device of a similar type.
The external pilot of the hunting brigade immediately began maneuvering to intercept the enemy drone.
The Ukrainian drone overtook the enemy drone, turned around and destroyed it with an attack from above.
Interceptor drones
The Defense Forces of Ukraine have long been using FPV drones as a means of air defense.
This allows not only to save scarce and expensive anti-aircraft missiles, but also to respond more promptly to threats from Russian reconnaissance drones.
Their interception is no less important, because they are used to adjust the fire of barrel and rocket artillery or ballistic missiles.
Front-line attack drones of the "Lancet" type have repeatedly become the targets of FPV interceptors.
The interception of FPV drones, as one of the main Russian means of attack, will help to significantly reduce losses of equipment and personnel and reduce the enemy's defensive and offensive capabilities.
