- 13 artillery pieces;
- 9 reconnaissance and strike UAVs;
- 9 UAV communication antennas;
- 16 enemy communications systems;

In parallel, the intelligence teams struck more than 100 russian field fortifications and engineering obstacles, denying the occupiers critical defensive positions.
These operations underscore the growing sophistication of Ukraine's front-line reconnaissance and strike capabilities. By combining human and technical intelligence with precision-guided artillery and drone strikes, the Defense Intelligence continues to disrupt russian command, control and logistics, buying valuable time and space for Ukraine's defenders.
As Defense Express previously reported, the West Air Command of the Ukrainian Air Force has revealed the impressive combat performance of one of its IRIS-T surface-to-air missile systems, currently in operation defending the country's skies. On the launcher's side, crews have painted 32 silhouettes of downed cruise missiles and one strike drone, each symbolizing a confirmed kill during russian aerial attacks.
