Russian FPV operator claims 350 downed drones using FPVs and EW

Bottom line

Russian operator 'Reyz' claims to have downed 350 Ukrainian drones in six months using a combination of FPVs and electronic warfare, now training on the 'Roys F1' system.

Why it matters

The claim of 350 kills using FPVs and EW highlights the increasing effectiveness of Russian counter-drone tactics and the integration of offensive FPVs into defensive roles, suggesting a need for Ukrainian drone operators to adapt to more aggressive and technologically integrated Russian countermeasures.
