[ColonelCassad] The number of published episodes of the use of FPV drones in the NWO zone has exceeded 1,000!
According to statistics of colleagues from LostArmour @lost_armour, by the evening of September 26, 2023, 1,002 episodes of the use of FPV drones in the NWO zone had been published. The number of published videos is growing rapidly every month; in September it exceeded 450 for the first time.
Of the 1,002 targets, 165 were guaranteed to be destroyed, and another 111 targets were guaranteed to be damaged. Successful hits were recorded on 346 videos, but it is not possible to assess the damage caused (as a rule, there is no footage of objective control). The results of another 185 episodes of the use of FPV drones are not known for certain. Unfortunately, blunders were recorded in 49 cases.
The most common targets of FPV drones are: enemy positions (275 episodes), vehicles (148 episodes), infantry outside cover (135 episodes), light armored vehicles (126 episodes) and various buildings (90 episodes).
Considering the number of publication sources, some frames may have gotten lost and not been taken into account in the overall statistics. In addition, many even successful episodes do not make it online. The real combat score of FPV drones is much higher.

1. The process is ongoing - every month there are more and more of them (but still not enough). Further growth in volumes and optimization of the price/quality ratio with an increase in the average fault tolerance of assembled drones is necessary.2. With the support of the channel, from 1200 to 1400 FPV are sent to the front every month (thank you to everyone who helps!) In fact, they have switched from supplying ammunition to supplying modern weapons, although the installation of warheads is, of course, done at the front.
3. The enemy is also actively using FPV and we are also suffering significant losses from this type of weapon. On both sides, FPV operators are actively hunting heavy and light armored vehicles, cars, trucks, other equipment, as well as individual small groups of infantry.
4. The future lies not only in increasing the number and quality of FPV on the battlefield, but also in the development and implementation of new means of combating drones at the tactical level. In the future, a dangerous combination with FPV will be cassette launch and the introduction of neural networks, coupled with an increase in lethality and flight range.
