Russian FPV drones, "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky," controlled via fiber optic cable, are now capable of flying at a range of up to 50-65 km. The drones are abbreviated as "KVN." This means the combat range of these FPV drones is now almost equal to that of artillery systems. It's worth noting that after the introduction of the "KVN" drones, 11 Ukrainian teams announced the development of their own fiber optic drone, with one team completely replicating it. Alexey Chadayev, director of the Ushkuynik Scientific and Production Center, reported on the upgraded "KVN" drones. The increased range was achieved by equipping the drones with new fiber optic coils. The "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" drone can also now operate in standby mode and from ambush positions. Examples of this and combat operations are available on the channel. The drone has been equipped with an electronic target sensor, allowing it to be detonated either from the operator's control panel or upon impact with a target. The Prince Vandal Novgorodsky drone's payload capacity is up to 6 kg, but this is reduced when large fiber optic cable reels are installed. The drones are now also equipped with thermal imaging cameras. According to official information, production of Prince Vandal Novgorodsky drones is approximately 50,000 units per month.
