Ukraine War Video: Ukraine War Video collects unc - The Chronicles

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces conducted a series of drone strikes over the past week, targeting enemy arsenals, warehouses, and logistics hubs in occupied areas of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. The targets were located along a key supply route used by Russian forces to connect mainland Russia with Crimea and transport troops, equipment, and supplies. In Mykilske, Makedonivka, and Markove near Mariupol, SOF middle-strike units hit three arsenals, three supply depots, and two logistics hubs. Additional strikes targeted a repair base and a command location in Hamivka, Zaporizhzhia region, as well as a rear support area in Pryazovske. In the settlement of Terpinnia, located along a branch of the same route toward Tokmak, Ukrainian drones struck a material supply depot and another logistics hub used by enemy forces.

Near Myropillia in the Sumy region, fighters of the 21st Brigade repelled a Russian assault involving three armored vehicles. The attack was stopped by precise Ukrainian drone strikes. The assault failed, and Russian forces withdrew with losses.

Crews of Yak-52 aircraft from the 11th Army Aviation Brigade “Kherson” are engaged in combat operations against Shahed-type kamikaze drones. The aircraft are being used to detect and intercept incoming UAV threats, supporting air defense efforts against drone attacks.

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces struck a logistics base of the secretive Russian drone unit “Rubicon” in occupied Mangush, Donetsk region, on the night of April 17. The operation was carried out by SOF middle-strike drone units, with explosions and large fires reported at the site. “Rubicon” is known for deploying a wide range of Russian unmanned systems against Ukrainian forces, including FPV drones (both standard and fiber-optic), strike drones such as Molniya and Lancet, as well as reconnaissance UAVs like ZALA, Orlan, and SuperCam, along with naval drones.

According to released battlefield reports and footage, Ukrainian strike units carried out a series of coordinated attacks in a single day against Russian military targets in occupied Crimea, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. The reported targets included air defense systems such as Pantsir-S1, Osa-AK, and Buk-M1, as well as two reported Iskander missile support sites, fuel storage facilities, and an ammunition depot linked to the 758th Logistics Center of the Black Sea Fleet. Additional strikes reportedly hit a workshop and UAV storage site associated with the Rubikon unit in Donetsk region. Notably, some of the published strike footage reportedly began specifying the weight of the warhead used, with several clips indicating a 60 kg payload.

An enemy FPV drone was neutralized during an attempted attack on operators of the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center in the Zaporizhzhia region. According to reports, one of the servicemen initially attempted to use a net launcher, but obstacles made it nearly impossible. As the drone approached for a strike, an operator identified as “Odesa” used small arms to destroy it at close range, preventing the attack and protecting the team.

Footage shows an FPV drone entering the cabin of a pickup truck through an open window. The drone did not detonate upon impact, and the individuals inside were not injured.

According to available reports, an FPV drone strike occurred in the area of responsibility of the 24th Brigade near Chasiv Yar during a declared ceasefire. The footage reportedly shows a group moving away from forward positions toward the rear without weapons and with visible signs of medical evacuation. The incident was recorded on video. Reports indicate that three individuals were killed as a result of the strike. It is also stated that, in a separate episode, captured personnel were used to test compliance with ceasefire conditions by conducting a trial evacuation in neutral clothing. According to the same sources, they were also killed in a subsequent FPV drone strike.

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck two Russian drilling platforms in the Caspian Sea, nearly 1,000 kilometers from the border. The targeted facilities were the ice-resistant stationary platform LSP-2 at the V. Grayfer field (formerly Rakushechnoye) and the LSP-1 platform at the Yuri Korchagin field. These platforms are considered an important part of fuel supply infrastructure supporting Russian military operations. The strikes aimed to reduce the military-economic potential of Russian forces.

Operators of the 413th SBS “Raid” Regiment struck multiple enemy targets in temporarily occupied areas of the Donetsk region. Among them was a modern Russian Tor-M2 air defense system, with an estimated value of at least $25 million. The operation also targeted warehouses and workshops used for enemy drone operations
