"The results of FPV drivers - drones already exceed the effectiveness of famous snipers from the Great Patriotic War war - a Russian soldier destroyed more than 300 soldiers of the armed forces of Ukraine with the help of a drone, while the hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Zaitsev - more than 240 fascists.
This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by an instructor from the Center for Special Tactics and Initial Military Training "Rokot", introducing himself under the pseudonym "Pinochet".
„One Russian FPV operator killed more than 300 people, this is an indicator of the level of the great sniper – the hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Zaitsev“, said "Pinochet".
In his words, training an FPV drone operator takes two to three weeks, while a sniper takes at least six months. The instructor also noted that in order to shoot, the sniper must covertly move to the line of combat contact, take up a position, disguise himself, observe for a long time and leave in time after destroying the enemy, while the drone operator can works at a long distance.
„At the same time, its range of targets is much wider than that of a sniper. This includes “fortified“ targets or targets in a trench that the sniper cannot see, and equipment including tanks”, Pinochet added.
