The Royal Air Force has begun testing FPV drones from Chinook helicopters for night operations

The Royal Air Force (RAF) has begun testing drones with a first-person view (FPV) launched from a Chinook helicopter.

According to a recent Royal Air Force update, these FPV drones are being tested due to their proven effectiveness in recent conflicts, their tactical advantages on the battlefield, and their ability to integrate quickly with minimal training.

The Royal Air Force emphasizes that unmanned aerial vehicles with the FPV function, especially those equipped with thermal imagers, can significantly expand the capabilities of night operations, reducing risks., related to the performance of manned missions in conditions of poor visibility.
