FPV (First person view) drones are used in Ukraine as 'kamikaze' or 'sniper drones'. Primarily aiming to take out armored vehicles and fortified positions, these small drones carry a repurposed explosive device such as a RKG anti-tank grenades or RPG warheads. I speak to Borys and Andrii from the 'Angry birds' unit about their FPV drone, how it works, the advantages and disadvantages, and what it is used for.

Quoting Angry Birds:
