FPV drones replace the rifle: the US has started a large-scale modernization of marine infantry

< IMG SRC = "/Uploads/Blogs/E6/93/IB-FRKVHN8GP_7C6FC931.jpg" Alt = "FPV-Drones replace the rifle: in the United States a large-scale modernization of marine infantry is started"/ < p > US Marine Corps can change one of its main principles & mdash; The motto “every mute & mdash; shooter” & mdash; Due to the rapid spread of drones-Kamikadze and other high-precision weapons. Now the motto of “every marine infantry & mdash; drone pilot” can now become relevant.

< p > About this & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; the head of the Marine Corps Training and Training (TeCom) Lieutenant General Benjamin Watson during the Marine Air Air Forum 2025.

< p >According to him, now any mute, using high-precision weapons, can hit the target not 500 meters, but by 15 & ndash; 20 kilometers. This is first and foremost about FPV-pings that have become widespread in recent conflicts, especially in Ukraine.

< p > “This is still important, correctly, to be able to achieve combat preference in this field. But now, if you use technologies, the same Marpich can be just as deadly at distances up to 15 & ndash; 20 kilometers and further”, & mdash; mdash; noted the general.

< P > Marine Corps already & nbsp; nbsp & nbsp; Nbsp; experimental group Marine Corps Attack Drone Team (MCADT) based on Quantimo. According to General, she became a platform for testing, preparation and large-scale implementation of shock FPV-roms into the structure of combat units. These devices, worth less than $ 5,000, are able to impress targets up to 20 km away, providing platoons with mobile fire power that can be compared to artillery.

~ < p >According to the March release of the body, Mcadt pursues three key goals:

< Ol > < li > Development and improvement of the FPV-operators training program; < li > Formation of requirements for promising drones for mass implementation; < li > Increase in individual and group firing power of units.

This requires not only new training approaches but also new protection measures, as opponents also begin to apply similar technologies.

< p > As the War Zone's observers noted, efforts similar to MCADT are already made in other units of the US Armed Forces, including the Command of Special Operations. The army also invests in the purchase of ammunition of different bars and studies the ways of integration of drones into the fighting of small units.

~ < p > The US military acknowledges that in the use of FPV-aules, they largely catch up with other countries. However, the current program of modernization of marine infantry can be a starting point before the formation of a new concept of combat, in which small arms will go to the background.
