A Ukrainian soldier with the callsign Pain captured another Russian military using an FPV drone, according to the Telegram channel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to reports, during a combat mission, the commander of an FPV drone crew from the Ptahy Madyara (Birds of Madyar) 414th Separate Brigade, known by the callsign Pain, used a drone to capture another Russian soldier.

The drone escorted the Russian soldier directly to the positions of Ukrainian troops, where he was detained.

"Our defenders continue to replenish the exchange fund. Every captured occupier is a chance to free our soldiers from Russian captivity. It’s worth noting that the FPV drone crew commander, Pain, is a Hero of Ukraine. His team has already disabled over 500 enemy artillery pieces using drones," the General Staff added.

Ukrainian soldiers are capturing the Russian military

Earlier reports stated that Ukrainian paratroopers captured ten Russian soldiers in the Kursk direction. It was noted that conditions in the Russian units were so inhumane that the troops voluntarily surrendered to Ukrainian forces.

Special Operations Forces also carried out a surprise raid on Russian rear positions, successfully capturing six soldiers.

In addition, Ukrainian border guards repelled an assault attempt in the Vovchansk direction and took a Russian soldier prisoner. The enemy suffered losses and was forced to retreat.
