What is known
We have already seen the work in action several times.American loitering ammunition Switchblade 300 and Polish Warmate. Now it's time to look at the FPV drone that played the role of a kamikaze drone. The video contains profanity.
Note that unmanned aerial vehicleswhich provide a first-person view are inexpensive. For one drone, you need to spend from $200 to $500 on average, depending on the components. But the catch is the lack of accessories. If you order parts from China, delivery will take several weeks.
Big companies rarely release FPV drones.For example, the market leader, DJI, has only one such model. In 2021, the Chinese manufacturer introduced the DJI FPV quadcopter in 2021. It supports 4K UHD at 60 FPS, has a camera with a 150-degree field of view, and can broadcast in HD over 10 km. True, such a quadcopter costs $999.
