Vladimir Putin's hopes of a swift victory in Ukraine have been dealt a major blow after a key weapon is proving to be a major flop
-snip-
Yet one area where Ukraine's military appears to hold the upper hand over their bitter foes is in drone warfare.
In a recent Telegram post, a pro-Kremlin military blogger described the fighting round the eastern town of Chasiv Yar, where fierce battles are raging
The blogger, whose moniker is "Two Majors", said Putin's army was handicapped by the poor performance of their first-person view (FPV) drones.
He said that most of the Russian drones could not reach their targets and complained that Kremlin forces had far fewer UAVS than Ukraine forces.
"Our units participating in the assaults at Chasiv Yar have much fewer drones than the enemy, most of which do not even reach the target," he wrote.
He added Ukraine was using between 500 to 700 FVP drones a day in some areas of the battlefield and their range was boosted by "repeaters".
Another blogger said the reason for this was that the main producer of FVPs in Russia had a de-facto monopoly on production, so Russian forces only have one main model of drone.
He claimed that Ukrainian forces have long known the frequencies on which this model of drone operates and are jamming them.
