The US Marine Corps in South Korea conducted the first test using FPV fighter jets. On July 30, soldiers of the 3rd Orr Armored Reconnaissance Battalion conducted reconnaissance, and on August 5, soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Marine Regiment conducted inspections using such vehicles just a few kilometers south of the demilitarized zone. In both cases, the Marines used Nironer's Archer UAVs, small quadcopters designed to hit direct targets. The Marine Corps has previously tested Archer drones in the US, but the tests on the Korean Peninsula demonstrated the role this new technology can play in equipping advanced units. In an official statement about the successful test, the Marine Corps emphasized that such drones significantly expand the capabilities of small infantry groups. With their help, Marine Corps units can hit distant targets using compact flying munitions. Drones are designed to destroy enemy personnel and armored vehicles. Like other FPV drones, Archer transmits a video stream to the operator in real time: the operator monitors the flight through special glasses and controls the movement of the device. "Equipping our Marines with FPV attack drones gives us an effective tool—an additional option for using firepower," Levon Brace, deputy company commander of the 3rd Light Battalion, Armor Re-Armor, said in a statement. Thanks to this, even the smallest units - up to the separation - come with a high weapon that allows you to shape the situation on the battlefield.
