In the video, there is an attempt by the russian occupying forces to use robotic platforms equipped with an AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers. Two such AGS-17s attempted to shell the positions of Ukrainian fighters in the Avdiivka direction immediately.
However, they were detected using a Mavic-type quadcopter and destroyed by FPV drones. Moreover, it appears to be the first, at least qualitatively documented case in history, of a duel solely between drones.
Only a few additional points need to be considered. In particular, on one of the russian robotic platforms, the number "6" is visible, which could be an ordinal number indicating that the enemy has more of such devices. In addition, it seems that both drones are carrying anti-tank mines. It is quite possible that another task of these drones was mine laying, or this is an additional means of self-destruction for maximum impact. However, such equipment only led to the expected outcome.
Earlier Defense Express reported about Ukraine`s needs of producing its own drones.
