FPV drone operators of the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade of the Air Assault Forces continue to deliver devastating strikes against Russian occupiers along the front line, according to the press service of the Air Assault Forces.
Recently, the brigade’s RUBpAK unit carried out a series of successful attacks on the positions of one of the elite Russian formations – the Rubikon unit.
The jaegers methodically destroyed enemy equipment, shelters, infantry, and positions. In particular, the destruction of antennas and Russian drone operators was confirmed, which significantly weakened the enemy’s capabilities in aerial reconnaissance and coordination of actions.
In some cases, Russian troops abandoned their equipment and tried to hide, but Ukrainian FPV teams continued working until both the vehicles and enemy personnel were completely destroyed.
The brigade notes that the daily work of drone operators systematically deprives the occupiers of armored vehicles, communications, and personnel, significantly reducing the combat potential of Russian forces in this section of the front.
It is worth noting that today the General Staff confirmed a strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a drone storage base of the Rubikon unit in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.
We also reported that Ukrainian soldiers destroyed the drone command post of the Russian elite Rubikon unit in Donetsk region.
"The combat operations of the missile troops and artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (MT&A of the AFU) continue constantly. Units of the MT&A of the AFU, in coordination with other components of the Defense Forces, struck a number of important targets of the Russian aggressor," the General Staff reported.
