"Ukraine's DIY Drones: Destroying Millions in Russian Hardware"

In Ukraine, first-person view (FPV) drones have become the predominant attack drones in the ongoing conflict with Russia, filling the gap left by a shortage of Western artillery rounds and precision weapons. These DIY drones, assembled by volunteers or units themselves, are fast, highly maneuverable, and relatively cheap, making them the preferred tool for destroying tanks with rapier precision. FPV drones have revolutionized warfare by placing precision-guided capacity in the hands of regular people for a fraction of the cost of the destroyed target. The conflict in Ukraine has become the world's first full-scale drone conflict, with FPV drones bringing the fight to a new level.
