#Fpv Drones

Ukraine has created a new defense industry around FPV drones: more than 160 companies, with a capacity of over 8 million units per year. In the first half of 2026, the state contracted for UAVs worth 333.6 billion hryvnia.

RBC-Ukraine has compiled a top five of key domestic defense-industrial complex developments: FPV drones, the 'Neptune' missile and other systems that have changed the balance of power and reached industrial scale.

Ukrainian maritime unmanned boats are ceasing to be just strike raiders: they are turning into multi-functional platforms — carriers of FPV drones, scouts, and communication means, changing the balance of power in the Black Sea.

On Brave1 Market, military units have gained the ability to order fully custom drones for specific tasks: from FPV kamikazes to interceptors, with blind application evaluation and automated auctions.

The head of AOZ DOT Arsen Zhumadilov stated that the armament resource grew from 633.3 billion to 1.717 trillion UAH, and international financing increased 16 times. In the first half of 2026, the army received more than 2.4 million FPV drones.

TAF Industries and Danish Upteko signed a memorandum on joint FPV drone production in Denmark. Starting in early 2027, the parties plan to produce thousands of units per month, with 100% of the output going to the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the initial stage.

🚀 The 'Svoboda' Battalion received a batch of FPV drones from the 'Ukrainian Team' volunteers! 🇺🇦 🔥 Drones are already flying over the enemies' heads in the Donetsk direction. 💪 Since 2022, volunteers have transferred more than 1,900 tons of aid worth 500 million UAH. 📢 FPV drones are the main weapon on the front; demand is growing every day. #Ukraine #SvobodaBattalion #FPVDrones #Volunteers #Victory

🚀 Ukrainian military completed tests of interceptor drones against 'Shaheds'. The winner was LITAVR+ from F-Drones. 🇺🇦 The 1020th Regiment named this drone the best in terms of speed and range. 🇺🇸 F-Drones is already supplying drones to the Pentagon (Drone Dominance project), completely excluding Chinese components. 🛡️ The Ministry of Defense has codified the TAF Kolibri-10 interceptor for procurement via DOT-Chain Defence.

🚀 Brave1 held the first FPV drone Demo Day! Over 50 manufacturers presented modular solutions that are changing the rules of the game on the front. 🇺🇦 #FPV #Brave1 #Technology

🇺🇸🇺🇦 During exercises in Germany, Ukrainian drones "destroyed" a US armored brigade. Operators from the 412nd Nemesis Regiment showed that traditional armored vehicles are vulnerable to modern FPV drones. The US is forced to rethink its tactics, while Ukraine is becoming NATO's main instructor in the age of drones. 🚁💥

🛡️ Ukrainian military adapts equipment against FPV drone threats: mesh frames, camouflage, and non-standard solutions. National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko: 'Victory belongs to those who learn faster.' Since the beginning of 2026, 1,184 km of logistical routes have been protected. #Ukraine #FPV #Armor #MilitaryInnovations

🇺🇦 Colombian drug cartels are sending fighters to Ukraine disguised as volunteers to learn drone operations. 🇨🇴 The Ukrainian Armed Forces identify and screen out such recruits, but the risk remains: technologies tested on the front could be used against Latin American states. 🚁 Drones are changing the rules of the game — both in Ukraine and in Colombia. ⚠️ The international community must prevent the transfer of military knowledge to criminal groups.

Ukrainian company 3DTech has unveiled the HYDRA complex for controlling a group of five fiber-optic "Predator" drones. The system provides a range of up to 30 km, interference protection, and automatic targeting via AI. 🚁🇺🇦

🚨 In Kherson, a drone killed a civilian vendor at a market. Prosecutor General: This is not an accident — it is a systematic tactic by Russia. Since the start of 2026 — 2,614 such attacks, 967 killed. 📸 Photo from the scene: burnt drone on asphalt. #Kherson #Drones #WarCrimes

The Kharkiv Regional Military Administration has launched an experiment to create an "anti-drone dome" made of nets against fiber-optic FPV drones. 7 million hryvnias have been allocated for the first line of defense, with results expected in 3 weeks. If successful, the protection will be scaled to all dangerous areas of the city. 🛡️🚁

Russia spotted a modernized T-80BVM tank on railway platforms with enhanced drone protection. The vehicle received a new 'mangal' on the turret and updated explosive reactive armor. Experts link the changes to the growing threat from FPV drones. 🚜🛡️🚁

Ukrainian drones struck 8 air defense targets in the Krasnodar Krai at a depth of 270 km from the front. 🚁🇺🇦 The Russian surveillance system lost key elements, complicating the defense of airfields and Shahed launch sites. 🚀📡

An experimental defense system against fiber-optic FPV drones is being launched in Kharkiv. The project, developed jointly with the National Guard of Ukraine "Kharkiv", involves creating "domes" of safety and a three-layer city defense. 🛡️🇺🇦
