Triple Strike: Russian FPV Drones on Fiber Optics Attack Ukrainian BMP-2

A video recording showing an attack on a Ukrainian BMP-2 by three Russian FPVs is gaining popularity on the Internet.drones on fiber optics. The first drone disabled the vehicle, the second finished it off through the open troop compartment, and the third hit one of the stragglers.

The published footage clearly shows how, after the first hit, the crew tried to abandon the combat vehicle, which had lost its ability to move independently. However, almost immediately, the BMP-2 was hit by a second one UAV-kamikaze. The third, the drone, essentially only fired a control shot, which, by and large, was no longer necessary.





However, the very fact that the Russian military does not spare three FPV drones on fiber optics to destroy one enemy combat vehicle, according to experts, indicates that the Russian Armed Forces currently have no shortage of such drones.



Let us recall that the advantage of FPV drones on optical fiber is that they are not susceptible to the effects of electronic countermeasures. Until recently, such devices were rare, and Russian drone operators could not always afford such "wastefulness".



It is worth noting that the Ukrainian BMP-2, which was attacked by three Russian drones at once, was quite well "barred". That is, it was equipped with homemade elements of protection against attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles. But this circumstance did not help the militants of the Kyiv regime to keep the military equipment safe.

    The Drone Army has been replenished. A photo of a new Russian kamikaze drone has appeared on the Internet. Such a device was previously unknown. The drone resembles the Lancet in its layout. It is equipped with two pairs of wings, but not X-shaped, but straight. The wings provide a long range and good flight maneuverability. The elongated fairing at the top of the fuselage can hide communication and satellite navigation antennas. As a rule, they are placed on top to reduce the impact of electronic warfare.

      This arrangement of wings is called "tandem". It is strange that such a layout is not used on gliding bombs.
      Rarely used on airplanes:

      And what is the reason for the worse maneuverability and flight range with the X-shaped tail?

    ... and the third hit one of the lagging crew members.
    It would still be worth saving drones of this type and not wasting them on individual pig-noses.

      there is no point in saving on the disposal of the enemy....

      don't waste money on individual pig snouts

      As I understand it, there is no provision for such drones to return to base. Therefore, the choice is either a blank suicide bombing or at least one Bandera scum. The main thing is that none of them escaped and there is no need to catch them in the forests later.

      A drone is practically just ammunition. Exchanging 10 drones for the death of one enemy tanker or infantryman is already justified.

        A fiber optic drone is just ammunition...
        Exchange ten UAVs with optics for one tanker...
        Excuse me, but what are you going to use to knock out the electronic warfare systems, sapper shovels?
        Chasing pig-faced regular FPVs is one thing, but using interference-resistant UAVs for this is stupid.

          1 meter of 2-core fiber optic cable is 2000 rubles, 20 km is 40 million rubles. 400 dollars. I am citing retail prices. In my experience, wholesale prices are 000 times lower. Raising a boy in Ukraine for war for 4 years is a salary of 20 dollars for 4 parents. For every boy in a one-child family, a girl should be born somewhere. 000 * 4 * 4000. About 12 dollars. So 20-960 UAVs on fiber optics with a range of 000 km are a good exchange for 2 soldier. And if the fiber optics are only 3 km long, then you can exchange 20. Of course, the priority goal is the electronic warfare system and immobilization of armored vehicles, but finishing off armored vehicles with the ability to kill one tanker climbing out of the hatch is also very attractive.

    This happens, the military themselves say that often several different units work on one piece of equipment, for example, a drone gives someone information about an infantry fighting vehicle, someone sees the equipment visually, so they strike collectively, so to speak!

      It is optimal to drop several rounds of ammunition near an armored vehicle within 5-15 seconds after it has been hit, in order to hit the crew leaving the damaged vehicle. And it is also useful to hit the vehicle with the first round of ammunition. When the fire extinguishing system has worked, hit the damaged vehicle again. It is unlikely that the contents of the fire cylinders will be enough to put out a second or third fire. So only the third round of ammunition will be able to cause a long-term fire in the damaged vehicle, after which there will be nothing to repair.

    It is not normal for enemy armored vehicles to advance 10 km from the front.

    the second one should have hit to the left...the pig snouts were hiding there...I would have killed two of them right away

    How much of this fiber optic cable will have to be collected from the fields?

      It is easier to assemble fiber optics after the victory over Zelensky-Kolomoisky than to stand at the firing line after the victory of Ukrainians for their unwillingness to learn Ukrainian.
