@the_kyiv_independent: A Ukrainian soldier destroys a Russian FPV drone lying in wait on a road to attack passing vehicles. ⠀ These drones — nicknamed "zhdun," from the Russian word for "to wait" — are FPV drones, often fiber optic, that Russian forces plant in ambush positions along roads and key logistics routes. ⠀ Instead of flying out only when a target is spotted, a "zhdun" lies on the ground and waits. It detects an approaching vehicle on its camera — or, in the dark, via thermal imaging or the glow of its headlights — then strikes it as it drives past. On fiber optic, the drones are immune to electronic warfare and hard to detect. ⠀ They have made front-line roads deadly for military and civilian traffic alike, forcing Ukrainians to fit vehicles with improvised cages and nets and to hunt down the waiting drones before convoys can move. ⠀ Video: kolombit / Instagram
