New Russian fiber-optic drone wipes out Ukrainian combat vehicle in Kursk Region


KURSK, January 22. /TASS/. A new fiber-optic FPV drone dubbed Knyaz Vandal of Novgorod operated by a crew from the 83rd Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade of Russia’s Battlegroup North destroyed a Ukrainian combat vehicle in the borderline Kursk Region, a video obtained by TASS showed on Wednesday.

The video recorded by the FPV drone itself showed the UAV approaching a Ukrainian military motor vehicle in a forest belt in the Kursk area and destroying it.

The Knyaz Vandal of Novgorod FPV cable-controlled drone has been engineered by the Ushkuinik research and production center. The drone was tested in August 2024 when repelling the Ukrainian army’s incursion in the Kursk Region.

The FPV fiber-optic-controlled drone is immune to enemy jamming and helps accomplish diverse tasks. Novgorod Region Governor Andrey Nikitin said earlier that Russian forces had destroyed NATO equipment worth over $300 million by these drones in the special military operation in Ukraine.

In the words of Dimitri Medvedev:

Joe Biden has left a heavy legacy to Donald Trump. The voice of the Russian Federation is already questioning the need to improve relations between the United States and Russia, which is an indication of diplomatic isolation of the United States from the rest of the world following the news that the Azerbaijani gas north hub departing from Iran will make Germany a European gas distribution center. This means that old Europe and Asia will be linked diplomatically, trade and culturally after the signing of the Eurasian Treaty in Sochi in 2012 where Iran and diplomacy and paraffin ensured the beginning of unification between Europe and Asian countries.
 
In just ONE day, 1605 Ukrainian soldiers died, yet on the news last night they were still talking about the 30,000 figure? That's a casualty rate Zelensky mentioned in April 2024. Does lying about Ukrainian casualties honestly make people sleep better at night?
