Video material released by the Defense Intelligence documents several engagements, including the destruction of vehicles and the elimination of russian troops. Some of the strikes resulted in fires that disabled transport and logistics equipment used by the russian side.

In addition to fire missions, Ukrainian forces reportedly captured several russian servicemembers during a ground assault. The video shows the moment of detention, which occurred during a close-quarters engagement.

These operations reflect the use of small-unit tactics supported by drone reconnaissance and strike capability. The integration of remotely operated systems and traditional infantry maneuvers remains central to Ukrainian military efforts.

The footage provides a view into the daily operational work of Ukrainian intelligence-affiliated units, who are often deployed for specific tactical objectives such as interdiction, sabotage, or targeted assaults.

As Defense Express previously reported, on the Novopavlivka front, Ukraine's Raid 413th Battalion, part of the Unmanned Systems Forces, has eliminated a rare and potent asset in russia's artillery arsenal, North Korean M1991 multiple launch rocket system. The destruction was carried out with a precision drone strike, adding to the growing record of successful FPV drone operations by Ukrainian forces.
