Marines can now hit targets 20 kilometers away with new FPV drones
In the United States, a new development in military technology has been tested. Infantry squads now have the capability to strike enemy positions from a considerable distance. This is made possible by small quadcopter drones that can fly into targets.
The Marine Corps has conducted live-fire tests with these drones in South Korea. Tests were carried out by different Marine units, with one taking place near the demilitarized zone. The drones used in these tests are designed to be used by small infantry units.
Further information on these tests and the drones' capabilities can be found through the Marine Corps or Task & Purpose.
