What began as a routine operation quickly turned into a devastating high-precision strike that annihilated an entire russian unit near the settlement of Kulbaki. Ukrainian forces, operating with remarkable stealth and coordination, targeted multiple key positions of the enemy, leaving little chance for survival or recovery.
According to the report, the strike was executed with the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, Western-supplied precision-guided munitions designed for deep penetration and pinpoint accuracy. The munitions were reportedly deployed from aircraft adapted to operate in contested environments, allowing Ukrainian forces to strike with speed and efficiency.

The targets included the command post and headquarters of the enemy unit, effectively decapitating its leadership structure. Alongside this, Ukrainian strikes destroyed personnel accommodations and enemy strongholds, severely undermining the unit's operational capacity in the region.
Equally significant was the elimination of specialized teams, including enemy communications and electronic warfare crews. These assets typically provide critical battlefield coordination and countermeasures against Ukrainian drones and artillery. By neutralizing them, Ukraine has reduced the enemy's ability to defend against future strikes.
Additionally, the strike took out russian MANPADS crew, a valuable success given that such teams often pose a threat to Ukrainian aircraft and helicopters. Their removal ensures greater freedom of maneuver for Ukrainian aviation in the area.
The effectiveness of this operation highlights the growing role of precision Western munitions in Ukraine's defense strategy. The GBU-39 bomb, known for its ability to strike hardened targets from significant distances, has proven to be a game-changer, enabling Ukrainian forces to dismantle entire enemy clusters with surgical accuracy.
