NATO FPV drone competition used to share tactics and training methods

The French Army hosted an international FPV drone competition with simulated strike missions, enabling NATO units to compare equipment setups and pilot/spotter techniques and to refine training for combat FPV use. While FPV drones themselves are not new, the structured, multinational training/standardization approach and exchange of small unit-level innovations is a notable doctrinal/tactical adoption driven by Ukraine lessons.
