Repeating controls and video signal through another drone just opens another point of failure if the repeater is jammed or shot down. Never heard of Ukrainians using this tactic.
Wild Hornets have a Queen Hornet that can carry an FPV drone and be its repeater.

The alternative is moving operators closer to immediate danger and operators are significantly more important to protect than a repeater drone and a strike drone.
