Russian '1001' firmware enables DJI Neo/Avata 2 for frontline use

The post claims a custom "1001" firmware for DJI Neo/Neo 2/Avata 2 enables broader battlefield use by adding anti-spoofing measures, unlocking higher-power multi-band (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) links, and removing DJI NFZ/altitude/range limits. It also disables Drone ID and removes onboard log storage to reduce operator traceability, aiming to make small cinewhoop-style drones mass-usable for close reconnaissance in buildings/trenches and assault tasks.
