The Phoenix unmanned aerial systems unit of the Pomsta Brigade has successfully executed a series of precision strikes against russian military equipment and logistical infrastructure in the Kharkiv region. These operations, carried out over the past week, have significantly weakened enemy capabilities along the Kupiansk front.
According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the Phoenix unit targeted and destroyed a substantial amount of russian hardware. The strikes demonstrate the increasing effectiveness of Ukrainian drone warfare, particularly in contested areas where conventional artillery may face limitations.

Among the destroyed assets were two tanks and three armored combat vehicles, including russian-made Tigr infantry mobility vehicle. These losses not only represent a material setback for russian forces but also signal vulnerabilities in their armored vehicle tactics and deployment strategies in the region.
Additionally, Ukrainian drones neutralized three infantry fighting vehicles, one personnel carrier, two howitzers, and the MT-12 Rapira towed anti-tank gun. Each of these pieces plays a crucial role in ground operations and fire support, and their destruction will likely disrupt russian defensive and offensive maneuvers.
Beyond armored equipment, the Phoenix unit targeted logistical and support elements, hitting six military trucks and one military utility vehicle. Such strikes are particularly important, as they hinder resupply efforts and complicate troop movements on the front lines.
Two key logistical facilities were also destroyed: a fuel depot and an ammunition storage site. The loss of these resources not only affects immediate battlefield conditions but could create longer-term supply chain problems for russian units operating in the area.
The ongoing success of Ukrainian drone units reflects a broader trend in modern warfare, where agility, intelligence gathering, and precise strike capabilities are reshaping the battlefield. As Ukraine continues to adapt and evolve its military tactics, the role of drone operations will remain central in countering the invading forces and reclaiming occupied territories.
