Ukrainian border guard units continue active resistance against russian occupation troops in the north of Kharkiv region. Recent combat operations have demonstrated the growing coordination and effectiveness of Ukraine's reconnaissance and strike drone teams in frontline engagements.
In the Vovchansk direction, drone strike groups from the Hart Brigade conducted a series of successful missions against russian military targets. Using aerial reconnaissance, these teams tracked enemy assets before delivering accurate firepower to key positions across the battlefield.

Among the confirmed targets were a russian military vehicle, two D-30 howitzers, and locations used by the enemy to launch their own unmanned aerial systems. The destruction of these assets not only weakens russian offensive capabilities but also reduces their ability to monitor and attack Ukrainian positions with drones.
In parallel, the Falcon unit's drone and mortar operators engaged enemy observation posts and fire positions. These precision strikes disrupted russian surveillance efforts and inflicted further losses on personnel and equipment stationed near the front.
The coordinated use of drone teams and indirect fire support reflects Ukraine's evolving battlefield tactics. By combining real-time aerial intelligence with rapid strike capabilities, Ukrainian forces are increasingly able to detect, target, and neutralize threats with speed and accuracy.
The ongoing operations around Vovchansk are part of a broader effort to defend the northern approaches to Kharkiv and prevent further russian advances. The involvement of highly mobile and adaptive units like the Hart and Falcon underscores Ukraine's strategic shift toward flexible, technology-driven warfare.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukrainian drone pilots from the Phoenix unit have successfully eliminated two high-value russian targets in Kharkiv region: the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system and a launch platform for the Molniya drones.
