![]() ![]() With the stock battery (1S HV 450mAh) you’ll get about 3 to 4 minutes of flight time. Still, the motors are quite powerful, so with the right battery, you can easily take this drone outside, on a windless day. With a 76mm wheelbase, the TinyHawk from Emax is a 1S micro whoop design that comes with 08025 brushless motors with 15,000KV. But, if you want to try some backyard flying and some aerial stunts, I recommend a 2S design with brushless motors. So, if you don’t plan on flying your micro drone outside, a 1S design should suffice. ![]() However, they are great for inside flying, where you can build your own obstacle course or spy on your colleagues in an office building.ĢS drones are a bit more powerful and can be flown both indoors (in large rooms) and outdoors (in mild wind conditions). Most micro drones are marked 1S or 2S, thus indicating the maximum voltage they can handle (3.7v for 1S and 7.4v for 2S).ġS designs use brushed or brushless motors but they are not powerful enough to handle outside flying sessions. On the other hand, brushed motors are smaller, but they are also more prone to wear and tear.īasically, if you want a fast micro drone, you should select one with brushless motors, while if you want a tiny whoop, you may need to work with a brushed design. The difference between the two motor types stands in size, weight, and power as brushless designs are a bit heavier and larger, but they’re also faster. A brushed micro motor is equipped with two brushes that make it spin and supply the current while brushless designs use copper coils instead of brushes. Micro drones use the two standard types of motors: brushed and/or brushless. “Already more than a dozen units of our equipment and a dozen soldiers were struck by this method,” said the administrator of one private group reportedly on Telegram that is affiliated with the Russian ground forces.Before we start talking about the best micro FPV drones on the market, let’s have a look at the main features that matter when you decide which one to buy. The fact that the Rocket-Propelled Grenade-7 (RPG-7) rounds are attached to FPV drones is what gives it its one-of-a-kind quality, given that the explosives are designed to destroy fortified ground targets.Īccording to the description, the PG-7VL round, which can be roughly identified from the photo, is a 2.6-kilogram single-stage High Explosive Anti-Tank round (HEAT). An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying above the scene captured footage of one of the hits.Īnother picture that has been widely distributed shows seven of these FPV quadcopters with RPG-7 rounds strapped to their airframes. This indicates that the FPV drones must have hit the ammunition magazine.īoth the first and the last videos show completely destroyed and mangled tank vehicles. There are two other independent tank targets that are hit on top of the turret, which ignites tremendously intense flames. Then, the FPV quadcopter flies into the tank, which had already been damaged, causing the military vehicle to explode violently. The crew of one of the tanks can be seen evacuating the vehicle while it is billowing smoke, but the crew of another tank that is stationed back to back and immediately behind it appears unhurt. The FPV quadcopters are positioned in the air above the targets to line themselves up with the weak spots over and in front of the turret. The final video shows three Russian tank targets, two of which are T-64s and one of which is a T-72. Even though it is unknown what happened to the armored vehicles after the strike, statements made on Russian Telegram channels agree that these ‘kamikaze' FPV drones on the battlefield are a huge nuisance. The cone of the RPG's warhead can be seen in the third video when it strikes the BMP from the side. ![]() This object is likely to have been an explosive. In the other video, an FPV drone can be seen crashing into a BMP from the front, and the end of something that appears to be hastily tied with a band can be seen. The video seems to indicate that the hit came from directly behind the turret. The next thing we see is the soldiers moving erratically and firing at the FPD drone while it is only a few feet away. The door of the military vehicle that was transporting the soldiers had been opened, and there were some Russian soldiers riding on top of it. One of the videos displayed the view from the camera of an FPV drone, which showed the aircraft rapidly descending on a moving BMP from behind. It is unknown exactly where the strikes have happened, but groups on Telegram say they happened near Soledar or Bakhmut (Artemovsk). Some of the footage even shows Russian soldiers exiting the vehicle just in time to avoid being hit by the FPV drone. The videos taken from the FPV drones show the quadcopters targeting moving BMP Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) from a variety of angles.
