Update: Expensive UAV Destroyed by Very Cheap FPV Drone
Published 5 months ago
FPV drone footage released by Ukrainian sources shows the destruction of a Russian ZALA 421-16E reconnaissance drone. Outside of the claims by the Ukrainian sources that released the footage stating that the UAV was destroyed by an FPV attack, there is no further evidence to prove the drone was downed. That said, while it's possible the drone missed the UAV at the last second, it's unlikely based on the trajectory, which had the device striking the wing.
Update: A Ukrainian source has published a new version of this footage which includes the battle damage assessment following the strike. It shows the remains of the drone on the ground. The video and story has been updated as of June 1, 2024.
