Drone Warfare – Ukraine War Videos – Page 19

Footage circulating on social media shows a large fire in the Central District following artillery strikes on February 20. A residential building caught fire, with the upper floors sustaining the most severe damage. Thick smoke and flames were seen rising above the area as emergency services responded. The full extent of the destruction and possible casualties is still being clarified.

Footage shows Russian drones searching for targets in ordinary residential courtyards in Kherson. The video captures UAVs flying low over civilian neighborhoods, raising serious concerns about the safety of residents. What should be quiet yards and homes have become potential target zones. Local sources describe the situation as terrifying — with civilians feeling hunted in their own city.

Occupied and stripped of life, Bakhmut now stands in total devastation. The city has been reduced to ruins — streets erased, buildings shattered, entire neighborhoods flattened. Places where children once played, families celebrated, and couples planned their future have been turned into lifeless debris. What was once a living, breathing community is now a symbol of the war’s destruction — a city nearly wiped from the face of the earth.

On the night of February 22–23, 2026, units of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces carried out successful drone strikes against Russian military targets in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In occupied Crimea, a concentration area of a missile battalion from the 15th Separate Coastal Missile Brigade of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was struck. The unit is equipped with the Bastion coastal defense missile system. In occupied Donetsk Oblast, near the settlement of Nyzhnia Krynka, a Russian ammunition depot belonging to the “Yug” (South) grouping of forces was hit. Additionally, a logistics and materiel warehouse was struck near Velyka Novosilka. According to reports, FP-2 drones were used in the operation.

A Ukrainian machine gunner aboard a Mi-8 helicopter shot down seven Russian Shahed-136 drones during a combat sortie on the southern front. While operating in active combat conditions, the crew engaged multiple incoming loitering munitions, successfully intercepting and destroying all seven targets mid-air. The action reduced the immediate aerial threat and demonstrated effective airborne counter-drone capabilities.

A Russian soldier was killed by the jet stream of an FPV munition, despite being more than ten meters away from the point of impact. The explosive force and directed blast effect proved lethal even at a distance, underscoring the destructive power and precision of FPV strike systems on the battlefield.

Border guard UAV operators of the “Hart” Brigade on the South-Slobozhanskyi axis destroyed an enemy ammunition depot. Aerial reconnaissance detected activity near a hangar close to the border. Strike drones flew directly into the structure and hit an enemy truck inside. A powerful explosion confirmed that the vehicle was loaded with ammunition prepared for future assault operations. The strike disrupted the enemy’s logistics and prevented the use of the stored munitions.

The system can carry up to four FPV drones with a potential range of up to 60 km.

Artillery, FPV drones, and heavy bomber units of the 33rd and 1st Assault Regiments dismantled a Russian assault group consisting of 17 troops near the village of Dobropillia in the Huliaipole direction. The group dismounted from a single ZIL truck before being detected and engaged. Coordinated strikes prevented the unit from advancing and neutralized the threat shortly after deployment. The operation highlights effective reconnaissance and rapid fire coordination against attempted assault movements.

Special forces of the SBU Special Operations Center “Alpha” continue targeting the enemy beyond the frontline, carrying out a series of precision night strikes against key elements of Russian military infrastructure in the rear, including 4 headquarters and command posts, 3 personnel deployment sites (including Russian FSB special forces units), 1 UAV production facility, 2 fuel and lubricant depots, 2 UAV launch positions, 1 ammunition warehouse, 1 logistics hub, 4 command and observation posts, and other military facilities; striking these targets significantly complicates the enemy’s command and control, logistics, and preparation for future offensives, while the night operation was conducted using “FP-2” unmanned aerial systems produced by Fire Point and equipped with 105 kg warheads, ensuring high operational effectiveness.
