Russian FPV-PVO units claim 1,200+ UAV intercepts in a single week

Published 3 July 2026

Russian reports describe dedicated ‘FPV-PVO’ (FPV-as-air-defence) squads intercepting Ukrainian unmanned aircraft at significant scale. The Rubikon centre alone logged 173 target engagements on 27 June and 1,204 for the preceding week, explicitly including long-range Ukrainian UAVs. Footage from the 1st Motor Rifle Regiment on the Great Burluk axis shows FPV drones used as the primary intercept weapon against heavier Ukrainian platforms. The tactic pairs a cheap, operator-guided expendable with real-time target acquisition, sidestepping the cost and availability constraints of conventional short-range SAMs.
