FPV Drones & Artificial Intelligence: How Russia is Transforming Drone Warfare

- FPV drones transform cheap, easy-to-produce drones into precision guided weapons;

- FPV drones have several disadvantages including loss-of-signal as it begins its attack dive or encounters electronic warfare;

- AI targeting allows an operator to designate a target while still in signal line-of-sight and before entering an area defended by electronic warfare, for the AI to then automatically guide the drone to its target without any external signal;

- Russia's large military industrial base lends its an advantage in both quantity and quality over Ukraine and its Western sponsors;
