Ukrainian forces from the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade have successfully destroyed multiple russian armored personnel carriers in a precision drone strike. The operation marks another example of how Ukraine's innovative drone tactics are eroding russia's battlefield advantages.
According to an official statement on the Brigade's page, the successful strike was carried out by the Ronin unit, an experienced group within the Brigade specializing in unmanned aerial warfare. Operating covertly in a forested area far from the front line, the unit detected and eliminated at least five russian armored personnel carriers.

The Ronin UAV unit used strike drones to target a hidden russian column that had taken cover in a tree line. Russian forces had likely moved the vehicles into the area to evade surveillance and air strikes, but Ukrainian reconnaissance located them and carried out a precision strike.
The ability to strike targets deep in enemy-held territory demonstrates Ukraine's growing drone warfare capabilities. Not only does this complicate russian efforts to regroup and reinforce, but it also underlines how drones are reshaping the nature of modern mechanized warfare.
While the exact location and time of the operation were not disclosed for security reasons, the destruction of the armored convoy is expected to have tactical consequences for russian operations in the area. Every destroyed vehicle represents lost firepower and disrupted planning for russian forces.
As Defense Express previously reported, on May 30, the 413th Battalion of the Unmanned Systems Forces released a compelling video compilation showing how Ukrainian electronic warfare systems neutralize russian FPV drones. The footage, captured from the enemy's own devices, demonstrates the disorienting effects EW has on incoming drones, rendering them ineffective
