The other day, an aerial duel between two drones took place in the skies over Ukraine. A Ukrainian drone and a Russian army drone clashed.

Here's What We Know

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have long and successfully used FPV drones. For example, a Russian surveillance complex Irony was recently destroyed using such a drone. In late April, the Defence Forces were able to shoot down T-80BV, T-72A and T-72B tanks using FPV drones.

In a new video, an FPV drone struck a DJI Matrice 30T equipped with a thermal imager. The video indicates that the enemy target was a Mavic series quadcopter. However, judging by the positioning of the top and rear rotors, it is the Matrice drone.

The DJI Matrice 30T is a very rare industrial quadcopter. It was introduced in March 2022. The drone costs a minimum of $14,000. That said, the drones are out of stock in DJI's official shop.
