The Strix unit struck artillery positions using FPV and fiber-optic drones on the North Slobozhansk axis

Pilots from the Strix unmanned systems unit have destroyed 14 pieces of russian military equipment and eliminated two personnel on the North Slobozhansk axis, according to footage released by Ukraine's Magura 47th Brigade. The video showcases a series of precision drone strikes targeting artillery systems and support assets operating near the border region.

The strikes were carried out using a mix of conventional FPV drones and fiber-optic controlled UAVs. These systems allow operators to engage targets with high accuracy while reducing vulnerability to electronic warfare, which remains a key feature of the battlefield in this sector.

Among the destroyed targets was russian 2S9 Nona-S self-propelled artillery system, a versatile platform capable of firing both mortar rounds and artillery shells. In addition, Ukrainian operators reportedly eliminated multiple mortars and artillery pieces, in some cases together with their crews, indicating effective targeting of active firing positions.

According to the brigade, the Strix unit operates continuously, maintaining pressure on russian forces through around-the-clock drone missions. This persistent presence in the airspace complicates russian logistics and limits their ability to safely deploy or reposition equipment near the front line.

As Defense Express previously reported, operators of Ukraine's 159th Brigade have destroyed russian Ulan light tactical vehicle southeast of Voznesenivka, according to information released via ArmyInform and confirmed by Ukraine's 16th Corps. The strike reportedly targeted the vehicle while it was conducting a troop resupply mission toward the settlement of Marine.
