Story summary
- Ukraine is considering passport verification for SIM cards to counter first-person-view (FPV) drones.
- Serhii Beskrestnov, adviser to the Defense Minister, says Russia's mothership drones can launch FPVs from greater distances, complicating interception.
- These drones are controlled remotely from Russia using Ukrainian SIM cards.
- Restricting SIM card sales could help but would require legislative changes and is politically unpopular.
- These measures would not eliminate the drone threat but could reduce its scale.
