This was reported by the Foreign Policy publication, citing an official NATO representative.
The publication writes that FPV drones are equipped with cheap cameras, which makes it difficult to aim at night or in cloudy weather, and often carry homemade ammunition, which sometimes explode in mid-flight or fail to fire at all.
Analysts interviewed by Foreign Policy believe that FPV drone attacks on Russian tanks have had mixed results.
Rob Lee, a senior fellow in the Eurasian Program at the Institute for Foreign Policy Studies, claims that the overall accuracy of FPV drones is less than 50%, and in some cases it takes 10 or more drones to destroy a tank.
At the same time, Lee notes, Russia is running out of armored vehicles and tanks, so if the current dynamics on the battlefield are maintained, Moscow may lose its numerical advantage in tanks and make it more difficult to conduct offensive operations in the future.
“The problem is that Russia is receiving a lot of manpower,” the analyst emphasizes.
