DJI Avata 360 fuses 360-degree capture with traditional FPV, but US launch remains blocked

DJI's Avata 360 blends true 360-degree capture with a swiveling gimbal for a traditional FPV mode, offering multiple control options (phone app, RC, goggles with motion controller, or twin-stick) and user-replaceable lenses. It outmatches Antigravity’s A1 on speed, range, and video options (up to 8K60 for 360, 4K60 in single-lens mode), while built-in prop guards and omnidirectional sensors boost safety. However a US official launch is blocked despite FCC clearance, with imports likely the only path for US buyers; outside the US it begins shipping in April. Drone-only prices start around £409/€459 (~$540), with bundles cheaper than Antigravity’s but lacking a DJI Goggles 3 bundle in the lineup.

First fiber‑optic FPV drone reaches Kharkiv, prosecutors say

Ukraine’s Kharkiv region reports a Russian FPV drone reached the city via a fiber‑optic cable for the first time since the full‑scale invasion. The drone hit a tree in the Kyivskyi district around 3 p.m. on Feb. 25; no casualties were reported, and the Kharkiv regional prosecutor’s office opened a pre‑trial investigation. Fiber‑optic FPV drones extend range and can evade electronic warfare, with countermeasures mainly limited to physical destruction or obstruction; Kharkiv’s proximity to Russian‑occupied areas makes this development notable in the evolving drone warfare.

Ukraine's Drone Warfare Shifts the Balance Against Russia

Russia has surpassed Ukraine in the number of first-person-view (FPV) drones deployed along the front lines of the conflict. While Ukraine has just one drone, Russia has between five and seven in key battleground sectors. Ukraine's drone army has been crucial in reconnaissance, suicide drone strikes, and guiding artillery fire. However, Russia has caught up by ramping up its own FPV drone programs and sending large quantities to the front lines. Western experts estimate that Russia is producing tens of thousands of FPV drones per month, with reports of increasing Russian drone activity in certain areas of the front lines.
