Ukraine’s 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade reports that its troops cleared and liberated the settlement of Shandryholove. According to the brigade, soldiers from the 1st Mechanized Battalion and the “Siverska Sich” Motorized Infantry Battalion also assaulted a wooded area north of the settlement. The operation reportedly strengthened Ukrainian defensive positions around Shandryholove and Serednie.

Footage captures what one minute of daily life in Kherson sounds like as drones can be heard and seen flying between residential buildings.

InformNapalm reports that OSINT researchers geolocated footage showing a Russian drone operator targeting a civilian in Kherson. According to the researchers, the operator appears to see the person in the street before carrying out the attack. The incident is reportedly linked to a Russian unmanned systems regiment of the 18th Army, whose drone activity over Kherson has previously been documented by the Institute for the Study of War. ISW has separately reported multiple geolocated incidents of Russian drones attacking civilians in Kherson.

Roboforce has developed a ground-based platform described as an “aircraft carrier” for FPV drones. The unmanned platform can transport up to six FPV drones simultaneously and bring them closer to the intended area of deployment. The system is designed to extend the operational reach of FPV drone teams while keeping operators and launch points farther from the immediate frontline.

Operators of Ukraine’s 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade reportedly destroyed a Russian tank using FPV drones. According to the brigade, a group of Russian troops used the tank to reach their positions before abandoning the vehicle and retreating on foot.

Les forces russes auraient commencé à équiper les UAV de reconnaissance de systèmes de protection conçus pour contrer les drones intercepteurs FPV ukrainiens. Selon la source, les drones peuvent déployer des filets et des fils destinés à enchevêtrer les hélices des intercepteurs approchants, empêchant potentiellement ceux-ci d'atteindre leurs cibles. Les images démontrent l'utilisation de ces contre-mesures contre les drones FPV.

Le 3e Régiment des opérations spéciales de l'Ukraine a publié des images montrant l'assaut et l'opération de nettoyage à Andriivka-Klevtsova, dont la libération a été annoncée la semaine dernière.

Les pilotes de drones ukrainiens continuent de cibler l'équipement militaire lourd russe sur le champ de bataille dans le cadre d'opérations coordonnées par les Forces armées ukrainiennes. Les images montrent des opérateurs ukrainiens menant des frappes contre l'équipement ennemi, contribuant à réduire la présence de véhicules lourds russes et d'autres systèmes militaires sur la ligne de front.
