How are they controlled? If it's radio, shouldn't it be pretty easy to jamm, assuming you have the means to?
If I'm not mistaken the main weakness of FPV drones is that you have to manually control it untill it's directly at or above the enemy. Which most of other weapons don't need, and you can fire them from slightly larger distance.
But, since we are talking russia here, it works amazingly well.
On an unrelated note, if any of you haven't seen FPV drone racing, it's one one of the most cyberpunk and coolest sports.
Radio controlled, I think they use repeaters on drones to extend the range.
And they can be jammed, but I don't think the Russian jamming tech is actually that good.
