A Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) operation was behind the detonations of goggles for first-person-view (FPV) drones used by Russian soldiers, a HUR source told the Kyiv Independent on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n

The news comes after Russian pro-war Telegram channels reported a series of explosions of FPV goggles while they were being used by Russian drone operators.<\/p>\n

According to the source, HUR bought a large batch of FPV<\/a> goggles for the operation and rigged them with explosives and a detonation mechanism.<\/p>\n

“Russian volunteers” subsequently donated the goggles to Russian drone units “in coordination” with the agency, according to the source.<\/p>\n

“Today, the horrors of war are literally happening right before the eyes of Russian FPV pilots. This is a well-deserved punishment for the war crimes that the Russian occupiers commit against Ukraine every day,” the HUR source said.<\/p>\n

The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. <\/p>\n

Throughout Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion<\/a>, Ukraine and Russia have heavily invested in drone technology<\/a>, revolutionizing warfare.<\/p>\n

Various aerial, naval, and ground drones<\/a> have been developed<\/a> and often successfully used for reconnaissance, combat, and other tasks by Ukrainian troops.<\/p>\n

FPV drones are cheap to manufacture and can be precisely flown into targets, allowing their users to destroy much more expensive military equipment.<\/p>\n
