Wild Hornets VTX Pro extends FPV video range to 30km

Bottom line

Ukrainian Wild Hornets reports that its HV VTX Pro 4W video transmitter has passed state tests, extending FPV drone video range from approximately 20km to 30km with omnidirectional antennas.

Why it matters

Extended FPV range allows Ukrainian operators to engage targets deeper behind Russian lines or operate in areas with increased electronic warfare interference, potentially shifting the balance of local air superiority in contested zones.

Ukrainian drone manufacturer Wild Hornets has announced that its HV VTX Pro video transmitter has successfully passed state tests. The 4W transmitter, when used with omnidirectional antennas, is claimed to extend the effective video range of FPV drones from approximately 20km to 30km. The component has been tested on various Wild Hornets platforms, including the Sting, Queen of Hornets, and Wild Hornets Digital drones. This improvement in video transmission range could enhance the operational reach and situational awareness of Ukrainian FPV operators.
