As far as i understand, price of fiberFPV is about 2x price of "regular" FPV (it is not massively expencive, taking into account total immunity to EV resyulting in higher rate of successful hits). The main limiting factor is availability of enough FPV teams near front line. But i may be wrong.

Now – it is possible (from the Ukrainian side) 4 – The Dnepropetrovsk – Pokrovsk – Donetsk route has been cut off 5 – Trains no longer run to Konstantinovka 6 – The road junction near Krasny Liman is also no longer operating source : lostarmour.info Edited January 21 by mandeb48
Mighty_Zuk Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Israel is in talks with Ukraine about the supply of trophy weapons to Ukraine. Although Israel captured a lot of war materiel across all 1st circle fronts, the vast majority comes from Hezbollah, and that also happens to be proper serially manufactured, high quality weapons. Often directly sourced from Russia.
alejandro_ Posted January 26 Posted January 26 110th Brigade on Velyka Novosilka: Plenty of firepower, but no troops "Compared to Avdiivka, the reasons for losing territory are different. In Avdiivka, there was a shortage of artillery rounds, and FPV drones were just starting to develop, but infantry was still present. Back then, the absence of artillery was made up for by the troops. Now, however, there is enough artillery and drones, but there are not enough soldiers to fight. There is a complete shortage of personnel in the infantry units." Details: The soldiers said that a typical Russian assault operation involves several groups of 4–6 individuals attacking Ukrainian positions from different directions. The most intense activity occurs at dawn, when reduced visibility due to fog or rain makes aerial reconnaissance more challenging. The Russians frequently move through wooded areas, using the vegetation to shield themselves from FPV drones. Quote: "Hitting a moving target with artillery is extremely difficult, and in such cases, cluster munitions are somewhat effective. Targeting FPV drones in a grove is challenging due to the radio horizon and the branches that obstruct accurate hits. Moreover, enemy groups now often include soldiers with automatic shotguns, and they are able to shoot down our drones." https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/01/22/7494758/

Any actual evidence to confirm the claims or that is a religion so it needs no evidence?

bojan Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Same level of evidence you would require if I said that active members of the various NATO militaries are fighting in Ukraine.

I think that for debate purpose we could safely assume there are NK troops in Russia, and focus on the meanig of this presence (and meaning of the fact this presence is not hard-proven up till now, that is remarkable) Let me remind by old post on this
