While the extent of the damage cannot be fully assessed from the footage, the destruction of a vehicle with a launch-ready UAV points to the beginning of a large-scale campaign against such targets.

Ukrainian communications and electronic warfare expert Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov noted that single-use Gerbera drones are typically used for reconnaissance. In this case, the drone caught fire and was destroyed before launch, an extremely rare event.

The Asgard Battalion of the Nemesis 412th Regiment spotted a vehicle with a drone on its roof and eliminated the target right at the takeoff point.

It is also worth noting that the russian army uses this drone not only for strike missions but also as a decoy, primarily during large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian territory.

Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukrainian Barracuda USV had destroyed russian boat and logistics base. We also wrote that Ukrainian 427th Regiment Rarog had burnt MTU-20 bridgelayer, tanks, and IFVs.
