Ukrainian forces have started using FPV drones to attack Russian troops at a distance of 60 kilometres on the Kherson frontline.

This is a major step up from earlier ranges, which were usually much shorter. The small, fast drones are now able to fly deep into Russian-held areas and hit targets that were once considered safe.

These FPV drones are cheap and easy to operate, but their new longer range makes them very effective. They can reach Russian logistics bases, supply trucks, and rear positions that support frontline troops. Many observers say this change is scary because even areas far behind the fighting are no longer safe from attack.

The development has raised fresh concerns for Russian forces in the Kherson region. With drones striking so deep, it becomes harder to move supplies, repair equipment, or keep soldiers ready for battle. This kind of deep strike can weaken the entire military operation without needing large ground attacks.

Experts note that the longer range likely comes from better guidance systems, such as fibre-optic cables or relay drones. It shows how quickly drone technology is improving in the ongoing conflict.

Both sides have used drones heavily, but this latest Ukrainian advance is drawing special attention.

As the war continues, such innovations are changing the way battles are fought. Rear areas that used to be calm are now under threat, forcing both armies to rethink their strategies. For now, the extended reach of these tiny drones is making the situation on the Kherson frontline even more tense and unpredictable.
