Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a transformative feature of the battlefield. Ukraine’s Armed Forces, fighting a numerically superior enemy, have turned to a diverse arsenal of drones to level the playing field, using them for reconnaissance, artillery correction, electronic warfare, and increasingly for direct attack. This essay surveys the wide spectrum of UAVs in service with Ukraine as of mid-2025, ca

DJI Mavic/fpv
Analog Video
That's not how that works, anyone who's actually touched a flight controller have any insight on this stuff?

DJI FPV-System - DJI
Bei dem DJI FPV-System handelt es sich um eine digitale Lösung für Renndrohnen zur Videoübertragung. Das System bietet geringe Latenzzeiten und eine HD-Videoübertragung, für unvergessliche FPV-Flüge. Erfahren Sie mehr auf der offiziellen Webseite.
DJI Official (www.dji.com)
Compatible with Analog Video Transmission
The DJI Digital FPV System can be used with analog image transmission via a third-party receiver, allowing users to switch between AV and digital video transmissions.
All the drone footage I've seen has been analog, and I guess it's possible on the FPV.

Huh TIL. Usually DJI locks you in pretty hard.
Either way the mavic certainly ain't working off of analog.

I highly doubt the mavics used in Ukraine still run the stock firmware

That takes more than firmware, and I don't know how much thats worth it compared to just using existing fpv hardware.

That was about the lock in part. Most of the mavic footage I’ve seen seems to be digital at least, though I recall something about them changing the RF frequencies constantly to avoid jamming.

I think DJI might be referring to the recently introduced "race mode", which reduces bandwidth of their transmitter and allows other pilots (with analog systems) to fly nearby.
In regular mode DJI video systems tend to interfere with analog transmissions.I haven't heard of any official way to get analog video from a DJI air unit.

From what I read they actually work with 3rd party analog receivers from the drone itself.

That was a feature where you could attach an analog receiver to their Goggles v2. They have since removed it in newer Goggle versions. Their system is basically a walled garden now.
