Drone Warfare – Ukraine War Videos – Page 5

Rare combat footage shows operators of the BULAVA unit from the 3rd Mechanized Battalion of the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Operational Brigade using a modified “Queen of Hornets” drone equipped with a grenade launcher. According to the unit, the drone was used to strike a building where opposing forces were sheltering. The video captures the moment the airborne system approaches the structure and fires the mounted weapon during the operation. Such configurations remain relatively uncommon and reflect ongoing experimentation with drone-mounted infantry weapons on the battlefield.

Ukrainian developer RATEL demonstrated a new concept combining an unmanned ground vehicle with FPV drone operations. The platform is designed to function as a mobile launch system capable of carrying and deploying up to four FPV drones simultaneously. In the released footage, one fiber-optic FPV drone can be seen launching directly from the robotic ground platform. According to the manufacturer, the system uses Starlink for signal relay and communication support during operations. The concept is aimed at extending drone deployment flexibility and improving survivability of FPV crews closer to frontline positions.

Overnight strikes reportedly targeted five Russian cargo ships and tankers operating near Berdiansk, Mariupol, and other coastal waters under Russian occupation. According to preliminary reports, the vessels were involved in transporting fuel, military cargo, and exported Ukrainian grain through occupied ports. Details regarding the scale of damage and the condition of the ships remain limited, though multiple incidents were reported across the occupied coastal zone during the same night.

A Russian Svetlyak-class border patrol vessel was reportedly struck near the settlement of Yurkine. Preliminary reports indicate the attack damaged the patrol ship while several crew members were onboard at the time of impact. Footage and local reports from the area began circulating shortly after the incident, though the full extent of the damage has not yet been officially confirmed. The strike adds to continued attacks targeting Russian naval and border security assets around occupied Crimea and the Black Sea region.

An M113 evacuation armored personnel carrier operated by Ukrainian forces reportedly survived nine FPV drone strikes during a rescue mission near Kostiantynivka. According to released footage, the vehicle pushed through repeated drone attacks to evacuate wounded soldiers of the “Luhansk” regiment from the so-called red zone. The video, published by the National Police assault brigade “Liut”, shows the armored carrier continuing movement despite multiple impacts from Russian FPV drones during the operation in the frontline area.

Overnight attacks across Ukraine involved more than 600 drones and nearly 80 missiles, according to monitoring groups. The strikes caused casualties and damage in multiple regions. In Kyiv, at least 6 people were killed and 58 injured. Dnipro reported 6 killed and 33 injured, while Kharkiv recorded 14 wounded. Additional injuries were reported in Zaporizhzhia. Residential buildings were hit in Sumy, and a private home caught fire in Chernihiv after a drone strike. Damaged sites also included a clinic, fire station, businesses, gas stations, and other civilian infrastructure.

Footage circulating online shows a Ukrainian FPV drone striking a Russian armored vehicle during combat operations. According to preliminary reports, one Russian soldier sustained severe injuries in the attack, including the loss of a limb. The video captures the moment of impact and the immediate aftermath around the damaged vehicle. FPV drones continue to play a major role in frontline operations, targeting armored vehicles, logistics, and troop positions with precision strikes across active combat zones.

The cargo vessel “Leonid Pestrikov” was reportedly struck in the port of Berdiansk during a coordinated drone operation. According to preliminary information, an initial strike was carried out using a frontstrike-class UAV, after which the 422nd Separate UAV Unit “LUFTWAFFE” was urgently deployed by command decision. Operators reportedly used a “Zozulya” midstrike drone equipped with a 50 kg cumulative high-explosive warhead to engage the vessel. The ship is said to have sustained significant damage following the strike inside the port area.

Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces reported overnight drone strikes against multiple targets deep behind Russian lines, including a tanker linked to the so-called shadow fleet and two oil storage facilities in Taganrog and Feodosia. According to preliminary information, Ukrainian drones targeted a total of 23 military and logistical sites during the operation. The strikes reportedly focused on fuel infrastructure, transport assets, and facilities supporting military supply chains and operational logistics in rear areas.

Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces reported strikes on a military airfield in Taganrog during the night of May 30. According to preliminary information, the attack destroyed an Iskander operational-tactical missile system along with two Tu-142 long-range anti-submarine aircraft located at the air base. Footage and satellite imagery from the area are expected to clarify the scale of damage. The strike is part of continued long-range operations targeting military aviation and missile infrastructure deep behind the front line.
