In a series of incidents, Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have engaged in a tactical battle involving FPV (First Person View) drones. A Ukrainian soldier was killed, and another wounded by a drone strike. Russian soldiers have been reported to knock down Ukrainian FPV drones using unconventional methods such as a stick and small arms fire. In one instance, a Russian soldier was able to hit an approaching FPV drone with his rifle. Additionally, a Russian Grad launcher was destroyed on the left bank of Kherson Oblast after being hit by an FPV drone, according to footage published by the RussiaNoContext channel. The increasing use of FPV drones has been noted, with one report suggesting that Russian soldiers celebrated shooting down a drone, potentially exposing their location to other nearby drones.
