Footage shows combat operations by the Meridian FPV unit of the 33rd Separate Assault Brigade. According to the unit, Ukrainian forces destroyed a strategically important bridge over a river after previously placing mines around the crossing. The video also shows reported strikes on Russian personnel, positions, an ammunition depot and military equipment during the operation.
Footage reportedly shows a powerful explosion at an ammonium nitrate storage facility in the Russian-controlled part of Kharkiv Oblast following an FPV drone strike. The video captures a large detonation and a towering smoke plume rising from the site after the reported impact. No independent confirmation of the strike, the extent of the damage or possible casualties has been provided.
Drone footage shows the current state of Bakhmut, more than three years after Russian forces captured the city in 2023. Once home to more than 70,000 residents before the full-scale invasion, Bakhmut has been left almost entirely destroyed following months of intense fighting. The video reveals vast areas of ruined buildings and devastated urban infrastructure, with no visible signs of civilian life. Large parts of the area remain heavily damaged and contaminated by explosive hazards after prolonged combat.
Drone footage released by the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after King Danylo compares Chasiv Yar before the fighting with its current condition. The video highlights the scale of destruction across the city, which had a pre-war population of around 13,000 residents. The comparison shows extensive damage to residential neighborhoods, streets and urban infrastructure following prolonged combat in the area.
Footage released by the ARES artillery reconnaissance battery shows the reported targeting of a TOS-1 heavy flamethrower system using an FPV drone. According to the accompanying statement, the unit detected, tracked and coordinated the engagement of what it described as another high-priority enemy target. The video captures the strike sequence as the drone reaches the vehicle during the reported operation.
Footage from the Pokrovsk direction in Donetsk Oblast shows Ukrainian kamikaze drones of various types targeting Russian personnel and positions in and around the city. According to released information, 67 Russian soldiers were killed during the documented strikes. The video includes attacks carried out by FPV drone operators from the “Alpha” Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine. Officials stated that over the past week alone, operators of the unit reportedly eliminated around 2,000 Russian troops during drone operations along different sectors of the frontline.
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.
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.
Operators of the Ukrainian border guard unit “Phoenix” carried out an exceptionally long-range FPV drone strike, flying more than 103 kilometers before hitting a Russian military logistics vehicle. The target was a military cargo truck used for supply operations behind the front line. The strike is considered one of the longest confirmed combat missions performed by a standard FPV drone, demonstrating the growing range and operational flexibility of low-cost unmanned systems on the battlefield.
