Ukrainian troops on the frontline have destroyed another batch of Russian combat robots intended to reinforce Russian units in a critical sector of the front, according to the 413th Raid Regiment.
According to preliminary information, the destroyed systems were robotic platforms that Russia actively uses to transport ammunition, evacuate wounded soldiers, and conduct reconnaissance. Their elimination not only deprived the enemy of key operational capabilities but also disrupted an established supply chain delivering these systems to the combat zone.
The military noted that Ukrainian fighters detected the robots' movement in time and carried out a precise strike, preventing any further use of the platforms. Russia is attempting to increase the share of unmanned and robotic equipment on the battlefield. Despite this, Ukrainian forces consistently neutralize such attempts.
"The 413th Raid regiment provides its own answer in this equation — breaking the occupiers' unmanned logistics. Because we strike, not whine! For obvious reasons, the exact technical details of the operation (the number of destroyed enemy robotic platforms, and the number and type of UAVs used) are not disclosed," the video's caption reads.
Earlier, we reported that in the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian troops destroyed a Russian unmanned ground vehicle for the first time.
The system was the Russian Courier unmanned ground vehicle equipped with an AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher. After Ukrainian defenders detected the robot, they directed an FPV drone at it and successfully eliminated the enemy platform.
