“They evolve”: Ukraine tests FPV drone featuring target detection, lock-on, and tracking system

First-person-view (FPV) drones have reportedly destroyed more than two-thirds of Russian tanks in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, as Ukrainian forces turn to this cost-effective weapon to counter Russian military might, according to a NATO official previously cited in the media.

The released footage displays the FPV view from a drone first in PREPARE mode, highlighting people’s silhouettes in green. When a person is locked in the sight’s crosshairs, TRACKING mode activates and the selected silhouette turns red. Additionally, the drone appears to react to objects thrown towards it by slightly altering its trajectory to evade them.
