If the drones can close Ukrainian supply lines into Avdiivka, the city’s garrison might have to retreat, even after holding out for months against tank and infantry assaults. “Russian forces have lost eagerness to assault and the number of operational equipment has been severely reduced.”“However, the logistical situation in Avdiivka has deteriorated for Ukrainian forces further,” Frontelligence Insight added. Both the Ukrainian and Russian militaries deploy FPV drones by the thousands along the 600-mile front line of Russia’s 22-month wider war on Ukraine. Single-use FPV drones with infrared cameras are the key. And jammers tend to ground Ukrainian drones as readily as they ground Russian drones, so any defensive jamming campaign has to take into account a possible loss of offensive capability.
