The video shows more than skillful use of drones by the Defenders of Ukraine. It was necessary not just to hit the hangar, but to fly into it, select the desired target, and direct the drone to it. This requires a really talented operator, who had to fly indoors at the maximum flight range. This is evidenced by the inscription about low battery power.
Consistent methodical strikes eventually disabled all the equipment that russians were trying to hide in this hangar. This case ended with an explosion of ammunition.
So, there is a conclusion about exceptional skill of the drone operators, as well as coordinated work of Ukrainian intelligence, which revealed the accumulation of occupiers` armored vehicles.
