The first shots of the night work of the FPV drones equipped with thermal imagers of the Russian volunteer battalion "Sudoplatov" on the hidden equipment and infantry of the Kiev regime militants have been published on the network.
In the footage, you can see how, despite the dark time of the day and the lack of direct visibility of enemy positions, Russian drones effectively hit their intended targets, while flying precisely into hangars with military equipment or trenches with enemy manpower. With the advent of such drones, the enemy lost the opportunity to make hidden movements, taking advantage of the dark time of the day.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian FPV drone of the same name was equipped with thermal imagers on the basis of the St. Petersburg Design Bureau "Hortensia". Designed to perform combat missions at night, the drone is used in the area of a special operation in Ukraine for reconnaissance, cargo dropping, as well as combat use as kamikaze drones.
Russian designers are expanding the range of FPV drones, refining control systems and installing additional modules on the drone itself to increase its efficiency. .
Over the period of time since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, more than 2.5 thousand Hydrangea drones of domestic production have been sent to the combat zone. The radius of destruction of the Hortensia drone reaches 7 kilometers, however, when using the Hortensia R repeater, this indicator increases.
