Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend the territory of Ukraine along the entire front line. Thanks to the use of FPV drones, they are successfully repelling Russian attacks, according to the North Operational Command.

The video showed the work of a consolidated unit of the 153rd separate mechanized brigade.

“Russian troops, despite significant losses in equipment and manpower, are stubbornly trying to break through the Ukrainian positions. But Ukrainian soldiers are standing firm, not giving Russian invaders a single chance,” the video caption reads.

The command notes the effective work of the FPV drone crew which has become a real small artillery and short-range aviation.

During one of Russia's attempts to break through, aerial reconnaissance detected Russian movement and tracked its direction and position. As a result of an accurate strike by an FPV drone with a thermobaric munition, Russian troops suffered serious losses.
