Ukrainian Vampire drones hit a Russian depot and a combat armored vehicle in the Bakhmut direction, according to the Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov.
"The combat mission was carried out by the CODE 9.2 unit. During the mission, the Russians attempted to jam the 'bird' using EW equipment," the statement reads.
Fedorov adds that the drone effectively completed its mission and returned home.
"It's amazing that a Ukrainian-made drone demonstrated such a powerful result. We continue to work to provide our drone manufacturers with all the opportunities for development and scaling," the minister wrote.
