According to the Telegram post of Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces Bayraktar drones destroyed $26.5 million worth of Russian military equipment, including eight tanks, in three days, from August 31 to September 2.
"Over the past three days, from August 31 to September 2, a pair of Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles destroyed enemy equipment worth a total of about $26.5 million. These are eight T-72 tanks (estimated cost of one tank is $3 million), an Akatsiya self-propelled gun ($1.6 million), an IFV ($0.6 million) and howitzers ($0.3 million)," he wrote.

He added that five T-72 tanks and an IFV worth $1.85 million had been damaged.
The total cost of destroyed and damaged Russian equipment is $28.35 million.
"Effective Turkish Bayraktars in the skillful hands of our soldiers are a powerful weapon! One of them is help from a friendly Lithuania," Zaluzhnyi said.
As Defense Express informed previously, during the evening of September 1, two recent videos with Bayraktar TB2 strikes appeared on the Internet at once. On the first video as of August 31, the 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled gun was destroyed.
In another video, as of September 1, there is a successful hunt for a mortar calculation and extra destruction of a truck.
In fact, Bayraktar TB2 returns to the mode when it not only performs the extremely important task of adjusting artillery at a distance of several tens of kilometers, but also independent hunting. Most likely, this happened due to the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine significantly reduced the stock of russia’s anti-aircraft missile systems thanks to the HARM-88 adjusted to Ukraine’s aircraft.
