“Prince Vandal Novgorodsky”: Russia’s New FPV Drone Leaves Nowhere to Hide

With the Production Center “Ushkuynik” officially launching serial production of its latest combat innovation — the fiber-optic FPV drone “Prince Vandal Novgorodsky” — Ukrainian forces are facing a new nightmare on the battlefield.

Equipped with a thermal imager, this drone can hunt day or night, through smoke, fog, or camouflage. Personnel, vehicles, and equipment — nothing can hide once “Prince Vandal” is in the sky.

Combined with real-time control via fiber-optic link, it offers unmatched precision and resistance to jamming — a serious evolution in Russia’s growing dominance in drone warfare.

The age of stealth is over.

The hunt is on.
