Ukrainian forces say they found and attacked a Russian drone base after hacking a drone and geolocating the footage.

Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi said that electronic warfare specialists were aware of a Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone flying in Kherson and that the feed was “intercepted immediately,” Forbes reported.

The footage was sent to Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, who geolocated it and sent a reconnaissance drone to investigate the area, Brovdi said.

A video shows a drone positioning itself above a building at the Russian site, which is then struck by artillery.

    If remediation would require trashing all current drones and not acquiring new ones till they can find the bug and redesign the drone around it then I can see it. Especially if it does not consistantly work. If they can take over every tenth drone and they let this known from the enemy perspective it will look like at will and having all the drones out of commision may be better than reversing the effect 10% of the time.
