Russian FPV firmware adds multi-drone control and inertial correction

Bottom line

Russian milbloggers report the release of FPV firmware TBF 8.2.1, adding multi-drone control, inertial position correction for GPS-denied environments, and experimental smart EW protection.

Why it matters

Indicates a significant software upgrade in Russian FPV capabilities, enabling more efficient swarm-like operations and improved resilience against GPS jamming and electronic warfare.

Russian milbloggers report the release of FPV firmware TBF 8.2.1, adding multi-drone control, inertial position correction for GPS-denied environments, and experimental smart EW protection. The ‘MULTIDRONE’ mode allows one pilot to control multiple drones with pause capabilities, while inertial correction addresses wind drift without GPS.
