Russian FPV drones Dzhoker proved to be an effective means of capturing a company of the Ukrainian armed units, Dmitry Kuzyakin, general director of FPV drone development company Center for Complex Unmanned Solutions, said in an interview with RIA Novosti on March 29.
The engineer said that during a special operation, Dzhoker drones forced a company of the Ukrainian armed units to surrender. He emphasized that this “record” can no longer be repeated, as 60 Ukrainian soldiers were taken by surprise by the mass use of FPV drones. Kuzyakin noted that this was a vivid example of how one small drone was able to “take captive” an entire company of Ukrainian armed units on the battlefield.
At the time, Kuzyakin noted that the Ukrainian militants had lined up in a classic line of defense, preparing for “traditional warfare” with their machine gun nests, anti-tank calculations, and anti-tank guns. However, Russian soldiers, who were trained and equipped, instead of following the established rules, decided not to go for direct combat and used FPV units, which successfully penetrated the second line of Ukrainian defense. As a result, Ukrainian militants on the front line realized that resistance was futile and surrendered en masse, which was the main achievement of our center, the developer stressed.
The Center for Complex Unmanned Solutions, located in Zhukovsky and a resident of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute Technopark, carries out a full range of activities related to FPV systems for military purposes. The center is trained in training in piloting and effective use of drones, as well as the development and production of combat drones.
Over the years of active work, the company’s specialists have developed a series of FPV drones called Dzhoker. The newest model Dzhoker-10 can carry a payload weighing up to five kilograms and developing a speed of up to 100 kilometers per hour (up to 200 kilometers per hour without cargo). The scientific core of the center is represented by Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology graduates who bring their unique approach and knowledge to the developments.
