Written by an individual who has spent 6 months as a foreign volunteer FPV pilot looking into effectivity of these drones on the frontline. He claims they are pretty much a fad with limited impact. The issues are:

• unreliable / cheap hw
• limited amount of radio channels for video / control (I thought they were running custom FCs - they aren’t!)
• weather and light conditions dependent
• suseptible to electronic warfare
• lack of qualified pilots / hard to fly
• not always the chapest or quickest option

Note: I am something of an FPV “pilot” myself, I am not sure I agree with everything being said (eg imo fpv drones aren’t toys for rich people - I am definitely not rich), but interresting reading anyway. Also - I’ve never been to a war - I know crap.
