Today, on August 8th, Ukrainian forces could successfully shoot down an advanced Russian drone - Eleron T-16 - in the Kharkiv region. This marks the first time such a drone downed since the full-scale invasion, according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
A special unit from the 15th Mobile Border Patrol Group used a regular anti-drone weapon to bring down Eleron T-16, which is a new Russian drone model.
"As they say, 'there are no analogs,'" said the border guard on the pseudonym Elephant, hinting at Russian usual propaganda formulas.
