FPV on fiber optics now pose a great threat, unfortunately, electronic warfare systems will not work against them and there are still no proven and guaranteed methods of combating them. If the enemy detects the position of UAV pilots, he most often sends FPV tags on optics there. Such a deadly bird can fly along the landing and fly into the dugout with the pilots.

However, the "optics" also has weaknesses - for example, it is larger in size (due to the coil) and is not very maneuverable. Therefore, it is easier to shoot down with small arms

P.S. - the main thing is not to be afraid of it, and shooting it down is easier than it seems

We arrange a "Shahedopad" for the enemy 💥

Since mid-spring, we have begun providing the Drone Drop units with the means to shoot down the Shaheds and have launched the same mysterious countdown on the website. Thanks to the pilot batch of interceptors from the Foundation, 17 Shahed UAVs and over 30 Gerber UAVs — a cheaper analogue of the Shahed — have already been destroyed.

It's not much, but our experience shows that the path from a few downed drones per week to several hundred per month is real. So it's time for "Dronepad" to take on "Shahedas" 😈

For over two and a half years, the Russians have been terrorizing Ukraine, killing, maiming, and destroying, in particular, with the help of these strike UAVs. We have a working, tested solution, we have the necessary experience, and we know how to fight them. The matter remains with your support, because shooting down the shaheeds requires more expensive solutions.
