FPV Drone – Ukraine War Videos – Page 2

Rare combat footage shows operators of the BULAVA unit from the 3rd Mechanized Battalion of the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Operational Brigade using a modified “Queen of Hornets” drone equipped with a grenade launcher. According to the unit, the drone was used to strike a building where opposing forces were sheltering. The video captures the moment the airborne system approaches the structure and fires the mounted weapon during the operation. Such configurations remain relatively uncommon and reflect ongoing experimentation with drone-mounted infantry weapons on the battlefield.

Ukrainian developer RATEL demonstrated a new concept combining an unmanned ground vehicle with FPV drone operations. The platform is designed to function as a mobile launch system capable of carrying and deploying up to four FPV drones simultaneously. In the released footage, one fiber-optic FPV drone can be seen launching directly from the robotic ground platform. According to the manufacturer, the system uses Starlink for signal relay and communication support during operations. The concept is aimed at extending drone deployment flexibility and improving survivability of FPV crews closer to frontline positions.

An M113 evacuation armored personnel carrier operated by Ukrainian forces reportedly survived nine FPV drone strikes during a rescue mission near Kostiantynivka. According to released footage, the vehicle pushed through repeated drone attacks to evacuate wounded soldiers of the “Luhansk” regiment from the so-called red zone. The video, published by the National Police assault brigade “Liut”, shows the armored carrier continuing movement despite multiple impacts from Russian FPV drones during the operation in the frontline area.

Operators of the Ukrainian border guard unit “Phoenix” carried out an exceptionally long-range FPV drone strike, flying more than 103 kilometers before hitting a Russian military logistics vehicle. The target was a military cargo truck used for supply operations behind the front line. The strike is considered one of the longest confirmed combat missions performed by a standard FPV drone, demonstrating the growing range and operational flexibility of low-cost unmanned systems on the battlefield.

Combat footage shows a pair of FPV drones striking an armored tank position, resulting in visible armor penetration followed by a large secondary detonation. The video captures the moment of impact and the subsequent explosion as ammunition inside the vehicle detonates after the strike. The engagement demonstrates the continued use of FPV drones against armored targets in frontline conditions, with operators coordinating multiple hits to disable and destroy heavy equipment during active combat operations.

Footage from operators of the UAV unit “PEGAS” of the 1st Separate Mechanized Brigade shows FPV drone engagements against a large group of opposing forces advancing across an open field toward Ukrainian positions. The video captures coordinated drone strikes during movement in exposed terrain, resulting in disruption of the advancing formation in a frontline area. The material documents the use of unmanned aerial systems for reconnaissance and precision engagement in open-field conditions along active combat lines.

Footage from the Pokrovsk direction in Donetsk Oblast shows FPV drone operators from the 414th Brigade “Birds of Magyar” conducting surveillance and strike operations against Russian personnel. The video captures a moment when a Russian soldier was targeted during a brief stop, with drone operators engaging the target in a frontline operational area. The material documents ongoing drone warfare activity in the sector, highlighting reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities used along active combat lines.

Training footage from Finland shows air defense personnel practicing methods to engage and neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles using standard infantry small arms. The exercises focus on improving reaction time, target tracking, coordination, and accuracy against low-flying and fast-moving drone targets in simulated operational conditions. The training reflects evolving approaches to counter-UAV tactics, where conventional air defense units incorporate basic weapon systems alongside specialized equipment to respond to aerial threats in complex environments. The drills are conducted as part of ongoing preparedness programs aimed at adapting to modern battlefield challenges involving widespread drone usage.

Ukrainian defense technology company The Fourth Law released the first public demonstration of its autonomous target acquisition and terminal guidance system designed for the “last mile” phase of drone operations. CEO Yaroslav Azhniuk, also known as co-founder of Petcube and Odd Systems, shared footage showing real combat deployment of the technology. The system is intended to improve autonomous target tracking and strike accuracy during final approach stages in active operational environments.

Ukrainian military personnel conducted a test deployment of the American Hornet kamikaze drone using a high-altitude balloon system. The aerostat transported the UAV over a distance of 42 km before releasing it at an altitude of approximately 8 km. The concept is designed to extend the operational range of the drone by 1.5 to 2 times by enabling launch from elevated atmospheric positions, reducing energy consumption during initial flight phase and increasing effective reach for subsequent mission execution and target engagement scenarios. The test demonstrates an experimental approach to expanding UAV deployment capabilities through airborne launch platforms.
