Russian troops resorted to new tricks to disguise drone launches. For new attacks, they began creating openings in the roofs of civilian buildings, according to the 15th Mobile Border Detachment Steel Border.
The Russian forces resorted to new tricks to hide their drone launches, setting up launch positions in openings on the roofs of civilian buildings. However, even such innovations don’t save them from the sharp eyes of Ukrainian intelligence and precise strikes by FPV drones.
FPV drone operators of the Steel Border unit discovered a new Russian tactic.
"In border settlements on Russia’s territory, they have started making openings in the roofs of civilian buildings through which they launch and land drones, trying to avoid detection from the air," the military reported.
However, despite these camouflage attempts, Steel Border intelligence managed to locate several such launch positions.
After identifying these targets, precise strikes were carried out by FPV drones, resulting in the destruction of the positions along with equipment and likely the operators.
