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.

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.

FPV operators of the “Justice Team” from the SBU Special Operations Center “A” destroyed a Russian BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system in the Donetsk region. The strike targeted the artillery system during combat operations near the frontline.

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.

Border guards of the “Forpost” Brigade carried out strikes using FPV drones and heavy bomber drones against enemy transport and shelters in the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction. The operation disrupted Russian logistics and reduced the enemy’s ability to operate in the area.

In less than a week, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces “Raid” Regiment struck three Russian air defense systems. A 2S6 “Tunguska” was hit using a Bulava strike drone, while two Pantsir-S1 systems were targeted with RAM-2 drones.

FPV drones targeted a column of seven Russian assault ATVs attempting an attack toward the village of Riasne in the Sumy region on the morning of May 3. The strike disrupted the advance and hit multiple vehicles during the movement.

A Russian Ural truck loaded with ammunition was destroyed while in motion. The strike triggered a powerful explosion, resulting in the loss of the vehicle and its driver.

Enemy troops on motorcycles attempted a rapid assault as if racing through the battlefield, but fighters of Ukraine’s 42nd Mechanized Brigade quickly stopped the attack. The advancing force was engaged before reaching its objective, turning the attempted breakthrough into a dead end for the attackers.
