Leader-Follower Setup May Enable Ukraine’s Rapid-Fire FPV Strikes

A reported Ukrainian leader-follower method may let one operator conduct rapid successive first-person-view drone attacks by transferring control or guidance cues among multiple aircraft. The concept is intended to reduce the time between strikes and preserve momentum against a target while limiting the need for a separate fully trained pilot for every drone. It could also help manage launch queues under electronic-warfare pressure. Available reporting does not establish the exact architecture or its scale of use, so effectiveness, autonomy level and resistance to disruption remain uncertain.
