Arriving in Kurshchyna, the walking corps from the 155th brigade of the Russian Federation got lost. Stupidly, the armored personnel carrier rolled onto the track.

That's where the armored personnel carrier burned. The Wings of Hell warriors destroyed it with your drones.

After the devils from the 155th cut off the head of a fallen Ukrainian soldier, they became priority targets. And dying from a drone will be an even better option for them.

The hunt continues.

This might be a stupid question, but are the video artifacts real in this? For some reason they look way more like analog (like a vhs tape) than digital artifacts but surely that can't be the case?

Not at all a stupid question. Answering from a perspective of flying fpv drones recreationally for 4-5 years.

Videos look analog because they most often are. These fpv drones are using very similar if not identical equipment as recreational commercial fpv drones. Analog fpv is a lot simpler, cheaper and easier to get hold of in large quantities, the latter is probably the largest driving factor as they are using the drones as disposable ammunition. Image quality is worse but is probably good enough for the most part.

Also, if digital bonks out, you get a blank screen. If analog does weird stuff, you get this.

They are probably using analog video transmission. Good enough, cheap, and disposable.

Analog is commonly used in fpv drones. Mostly due to low cost, low latency and when the signal starts to degrades you get those artifacts, instead of a blackout or higher latency. You need quick and precise control with those drones, so video quality is often a lower priority.

So.. they look analog cause they are analog.
