REFERENCE

An FPV drone is a drone with a First Person View system. This means that the pilot controls it by watching the video from the drone's camera in real time, usually through special glasses or a screen. It creates the effect of being "sitting" inside the drone and seeing everything through its eyes.

  • The defense forces have repeatedly hit objects in the Rostov region. For example, a January 13 strike on Atlant Aero in Taganrog damaged a drone assembly shop, two production shops, and an administrative building.
  • The Navy has shown satellite images of the plant in Taganrog after Ukrainian missile attacks.
