Almost indestructible drones
Electronic War Systems son The cryptonite of combat drones. These weapons are capable of issuing radio signals that interrupt communication with drones and prevent their operators from handling them at a distance.
To avoid these interferences, and the loss of drones, a new first -person view of vision (FPV) has been created that is impossible to interfere thanks to a reel that has several kilometers of fiber optic.
