Russian blogger “Mad Dogs” describes the deadly tactics of Ukrainian FPV teams.

“Enemy Methods: How They Lure Us into an FPV

The enemy has become craftier—they no longer fire indiscriminately but operate with pauses, like experienced hunters. They fire, then lie low.

Russian blogger “Philologist” provides a vivid description of overwhelming Ukrainian strength in drones near Pokrovsky.

“They take breaks of 2–6 days, and this is not by chance, but a tactic

During this period, soldiers in their positions relax: someone goes to the latrine without a helmet, someone doesn't bend down on the road, someone stands up to smoke at full height.

“Yes, that's it—the enemy sees it. They analyze where and how often people appear, make marks, and then—a volley of 10–15 FPV drones

The enemy's main goal is to lure

Such 'silence' is not mercy, but a trap.

“The enemy knows: if they don't shoot, people will relax, and discipline in movement around positions will drop. And then they can launch a swarm of drones at the 'lit up' spots. No spotters—all work is done via video and tracking of our movements.

“Move only on command

To avoid becoming the star of an enemy FPV stream, movement around positions is only on the commander's order. It doesn't matter where—for water, to the toilet, or for a smoke break.

“The commander gives the 'go-ahead' only after electronic warfare (EW) is activated. Finished moving—EW is turned off. Yes, it's inconvenient. But life is more valuable

EW is a friend, but not a magician

There's another trick—intercepting video signals from drones.

“This allows understanding where they are and when it's best not to move. But...

Recently, the effectiveness of such interceptions is decreasing. The enemy is adapting, using new schemes and firmware

Autopilot is a new trend for the enemy

“Especially nasty things are the drones 'Baba Yaga' and 'Valkyria'. They fly on autopilot, don't emit any signals, and EW has simply nothing to jam. And 10–15 seconds before the strike, the operator engages—and then it's too late to cry over spilled milk.

“The enemy works intelligently. They don't rush, they study, they provoke, they mask strikes with silence. This means we need to be even more disciplined. No unauthorized strolls.

“Only on command, under EW, and with the understanding that every step is a chance to survive or get a drone to the face.”
