Footage from the Pokrovsk direction in Donetsk Oblast shows FPV drone operators from the 414th Brigade “Birds of Magyar” conducting surveillance and strike operations against Russian personnel. The video captures a moment when a Russian soldier was targeted during a brief stop, with drone operators engaging the target in a frontline operational area. The material documents ongoing drone warfare activity in the sector, highlighting reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities used along active combat lines.
The Special Operations Center “A” of the Security Service of Ukraine reported successful operations targeting Russian military infrastructure on temporarily occupied territory. According to the provided information, a Russian FSB command post was struck, along with a Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile system. The operation is also reported to have resulted in approximately one hundred Russian personnel killed or wounded. The activity is presented as part of ongoing long-range strike operations conducted against military command, air defense, and related assets in occupied areas, with continued emphasis on degrading operational capabilities and coordination structures.
The Unmanned Systems Forces conducted a series of coordinated strikes against multiple Russian military assets across Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Reported targets include radar systems from S-300V air defense complexes and a fuel tanker in Shyroka Balka, a Tor air defense system and a saddle truck in Berestove, and a BM-27 Uragan MLRS in Zelenyi Hai, Donetsk Oblast. Additional strikes affected command posts, UAV workshops, logistics hubs, and personnel locations in several settlements including Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia directions. The operation also included damage to a port crane in Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, indicating continued targeting of operational infrastructure and supply chains in occupied territories.
A BM-27 Uragan multiple rocket launcher system was struck by an FP-2 kamikaze drone near the settlement of Zelenyi Hai in Donetsk Oblast, resulting in a large secondary detonation of the onboard ammunition. The footage shows the aftermath of the impact and the subsequent explosion of the rocket payload. The operation is attributed to operators of the 1st Separate UAV Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The material documents the engagement and the resulting destruction of the artillery system in the operational area.
The German company Helsing has demonstrated the launch of its HX-2 drone from a high-speed landing craft. In April, the Ukrainian “Inquisition” UAV unit of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces first reported operational use of HX-2 drones in strikes against Russian forces. The demonstration highlights potential integration of such systems with maritime platforms for future deployment concepts.
In the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction, aerial reconnaissance operators of the STRIX unmanned systems unit destroyed 10 Russian Molniya strike drones.
The interceptions were carried out by border guard drone teams operating along the frontline.
Operators of Ukrainian heavy bomber drones mainly conduct missions at night, targeting enemy bunkers, shelters, and concealed positions with aerial drops. The larger and more valuable the target, the heavier the payload used by drone system units of police rifle battalions. Ukrainian hexacopters have become a constant threat for Russian troops, who have nicknamed them “Baba Yaga” due to their nighttime strikes.
This footage shows a Ukrainian ground kamikaze drone carrying a 300 kg explosive charge striking a building occupied by a group of eight Russian soldiers.
The drone crashes into the structure and detonates inside, demonstrating the growing use of unmanned ground systems in frontline assault operations and urban combat.
A Ukrainian soldier’s camera captured the moment an enemy FPV drone suddenly struck a ground robotic vehicle delivering supplies to frontline positions.
Because the robotic courier had stopped in an open area, nearby troops hesitated to approach it immediately — a decision that likely saved their lives when the drone attack occurred.
