A recently released video shows a Turkish-made Kirpi armoured vehicle surviving a direct hit from a Russian fibre-optic first-person view (FPV) drone on one of the Ukraine-Russia battlefields, but the location has not been specified. The vehicle’s additional anti-drone protection system helped absorb the impact.
Produced by BMC Otomotiv, the Kirpi is a mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle known for its strong protection against mines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and drone attacks. Many units in Ukraine have been upgraded with anti-drone cages and electronic warfare systems, making them valuable assets for Ukrainian forces in frontline operations
