First-person view, or FPV drones, are the latest in battlefield technology. Cheap, easy to produce, and simple to operate, they provide their pilots with a drone’s-eye-view of the battlefield by beaming a video signal back to a VR headset. This means the pilot can make very precise manoeuvres – strap an old-fashioned anti-tank shell to the bottom of the drone, and you now have a modern precision weapon that can blow up tanks worth millions for just a few hundred dollars. Some people think they’re changing warfare forever, so we’re going to analyse a piece of footage and speak to a man making the drones for the Ukrainian army to find out.

  1. Remember peeps, a drone in time keeps Ivan from your back garden. If the price is 100 – 400 pounds as the guy in the video says, I have already bought several through my donations. It is the best xmas gift for a Ukrainian unit.

  2. A telling comment, drones by Ukraine versus meat waves by Russia, the meat waves resulting in huge numbers of casualties, whereas drones, drone operators escaping injury altogether. A huge difference by the two sides. Russia apparently does not care about its human losses, people come last, as long as the rulers and their cohorts are safe. Similar examples can be found in the histories, including from civilian life in the Soviet Union. One example is to do with toilet paper. It was considered a luxury over there, few had it. In multi-storeyed apartments, buckets were used and the contents emptied downstairs in a brick building out the back. One had to watch ones step getting there, if you know what I mean. I used to think…..where did a country's wealth go, such that an important technology was so backward?? So, people came last, as do Russia's military meatwaves!

  3. Infantry assault is ihstory, infantry recon is meaningless, tank design is in need of a reform, attack helicopters are questionable, the idea of having air superiority in a full scale symmetric conflict is not realistic.F35 is not cost effective. Soon we will see active denial systems(turrets), ground based drones and more focus on MLRS and long range gps shells. To be even more pessimistic we have to reflect around AI controlled drone swarms. New modern warfare will be even more strategic than today; who has the most drone factories.

  4. An idea:
    To increase the autonomy of a drone, we can imagine a drone that has a rechargeable main battery, and a non-rechargeable battery made with alkaline batteries. The drone first flies by powering itself with the alkaline batteries, then, when they are used up, the drone drops these heavy and useless used batteries, and continues with its main battery.
    What do you think?

  5. Stop making Russia the bad guy. The world knows NATO, and the US has used Russia as the enemy to sell and spend American taxpayer's money on war for profit.
    The Ukranian people are the pawns used by Zelensky to steal from the war aid package as well.

  6. Ukraines? Those are American made and paid for. At least be truthful with SOMETHING. 🙄
    Seems pretty heavy on the copium for the side that needs the whole world to back it up, because it's so pathetically weak thanks to it's generations of blatant and rampant corruption.
    I feel no sympathy for a weak people who choose corruption willingly.

  7. This whole "documentary" tells the story as if the Russians wouldn't do the exact same. With plenty of support they buy drones from whoever sells them. You know which markets these are.

  8. I wonder whether we will ever see a case of a militia raise money by auctioning off the ability to fly a combat drone mission over the internet? I'm sure there are enough wealthy sociopaths out there who would be willing to fork out 10-20 grand for the opportunity to try and kill someone someone like it's an IRL video game.

    Surly, the loss of efficiency you would get by having an inexperienced person fly the mission, as well as any potential lag from conducting it over the internet, would be counteracted by the fact that it could find a dozen new drones.
