Russian reconnaissance drones once dominated Ukraine’s skies, but a new player has entered the game. Modified FPV quadcopters, costing just $1000 each, are now hunting down their more expensive counterparts in a high-stakes aerial duel.

The Russia-Ukraine war has revolutionized modern warfare, with tactical reconnaissance drones emerging as a game-changer. These unmanned aerial vehicles provide unprecedented battlefield awareness, rendering traditional troop concealment nearly impossible and shifting the conflict toward positional warfare.
The Ukrainian project Deep State addresses a crucial question: How to effectively counter these aerial threats? Their analysisreveals a promising solution – using drones to fight drones, specifically employing inexpensive FPV (First Person View) unmanned vehicles.
This strategy has already seen success in the field. In June, Ukrainian border guards downed a Russian ZALA reconnaissance drone in Odesa Oblast, while the 93rd Mechanized Brigade’s SIGNUM unit intercepted a fast-moving Lancet loitering munition.
