Precision Attacks on Armored Vehicles and Military Installations
In the first released footage, an enemy tank hidden inside a garage was completely destroyed. The FPV drone operator skillfully navigated the device through a camouflage net, flew over the armored vehicle, and struck it directly in the engine and transmission compartment. As a result of the attack, the tank immediately caught fire.
Another section of the video shows an FPV drone with fiber-optic control flying into a dilapidated hangar and striking a 2S19 Msta-S, a self-propelled artillery system of large caliber.

Additionally, the footage reveals other successful strikes, including:
- The disabling of a tank’s gun barrel,
- The destruction of an enemy howitzer,
- The neutralization of an enemy UAZ SUV and a Ural military truck.
- Drones immune to electronic warfare
The commander of the 414th Brigade emphasized the high quality of image transmissions captured by the drones, both in daytime and nighttime operations. He also highlighted the tactical advantage of fiber-optic control, making these drones impervious to electronic warfare tactics, as they do not rely on conventional radio signals for operation.
New Fundraising Campaign to Expand the Drone Program
In his statement, Commander Magyar also announced a new fundraising campaign, aiming to raise 22.6 million hryvnias (Ukrainian currency) to acquire 1,000 new fiber-optic drones.
With the increasing reliance on advanced technology on the battlefield, these drones offer a significant advantage, enabling precision strikes on strategic targets while overcoming enemy electronic jamming efforts.
