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.
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces carried out a series of drone strikes targeting enemy warehouses, logistics hubs, command facilities, and repair bases in occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in Russia’s Belgorod region. In Sartana near Mariupol, SOF middle-strike units hit ammunition depots used by Russian forces. In Boikivske, drones targeted a logistics and supply center. Additional strikes hit a repair base in occupied Mykolaivka, a command-observation point in Sviatotroitske, temporary accommodation for enemy mechanics in Rovenky, and a training ground in Kulikivske. A separate operation reportedly struck a Russian drone unit location in Nova Tavolzhanka, Belgorod region. Ukrainian forces say such strikes are aimed at weakening enemy logistics and operational capabilities.
Hezbollah militants are reportedly increasing the use of fiber-optic FPV drones in attacks against the Israel Defense Forces in Lebanon and northern Israel. Among the reported targets were Iron Dome launchers, Merkava tanks, and Namer infantry fighting vehicles. The growing use of fiber-optic drones highlights evolving battlefield tactics designed to resist electronic warfare interference.
The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov” is conducting reconnaissance-strike operations over the Mariupol area using unmanned systems. Operators are reportedly patrolling routes up to 160 km from the frontline, monitoring enemy movements and logistics. According to the unit, Russian forces continue to use roads in and around Mariupol for troop and equipment movement. Azov units are targeting these logistics routes as part of efforts to disrupt enemy supply chains and expand the operational “sanitary zone” deeper into occupied territory.
