In a remarkable act of courage, a Ukrainian civilian managed to disable a Russian fiber-optic FPV drone using only his bare hands.

The incident highlights both the dangers civilians face in war-torn areas and the extraordinary bravery often displayed in moments of crisis. FPV (first-person view) drones are commonly used by Russian forces for surveillance and precision strikes, making them a significant threat on the battlefield.

Although details remain limited, Ukrainian officials praised the civilian’s quick action, noting that the intervention potentially prevented casualties or damage. The episode underscores the blurred lines between military and civilian roles in Ukraine’s ongoing defense against Russian aggression.
