In a recent interview, Commander Dmitry Oleksiuk of the Phoenix Unmanned Aviation Systems Unit addressed the growing use of FPV (First-Person View) drones, commonly referred to as “FPV-punks,” in military operations. According to Oleksiuk, these drones exhibit resilience against high-radiation environments.
The commander elaborated on the practicality of employing FPV drones in real combat scenarios, highlighting their advantages and potential drawbacks. Oleksiuk emphasized the tactical benefits these drones can provide, as well as the challenges they may present in various operational contexts.
The full interview can be accessed on the Phoenix Unmanned Aviation Systems Unit’s YouTube channel, which offers insights into the evolving landscape of drone warfare and the integration of new technology in military strategies. Additionally, a questionnaire for those interested in joining the Phoenix unit is available for prospective candidates.
As military engagements become increasingly reliant on advanced drone technology, discussions like these underscore the strategic shifts taking place in modern warfare.
