Ukraine launched a covert Trojan Horse- styled drone strike targeting Russia air bases using FPV (First Person View) drones hidden in mobile wooden cabins transported by trucks. 

  • FPV drones are remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a front-facing camera that transmits live video feed to the operator, giving a “pilot’s-eye view.”
