STING interceptors from the BULAVA battalion destroyed 209 Russian drones in a month – video
Soldiers from the 3rd Mechanized Battalion "BULAVA" of the Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Separate Presidential Brigade have achieved phenomenal results in engaging enemy aerial targets. In just one month, Ukrainian operators successfully took down 209 Russian drones of various types.
To effectively hunt down enemy drones, the soldiers used the latest domestic STING FPV interceptor drones, created by the volunteer community “Wild Hornets.”
Among the large number of enemy aerial targets that were brought down or destroyed in the sky, the following figures were recorded:
The bulk of the eliminated aircraft consisted of Shahed-type kamikaze strike drones—a total of 164 units were shot down.
A significant portion of the operators’ kills consisted of new Russian “Gerbera” drones—Ukrainian defenders intercepted 36 such UAVs.
Additionally, fighters from the BULAVA battalion destroyed 9 other reconnaissance and attack unmanned aerial vehicles belonging to the occupying forces.
The high effectiveness of the Ukrainian soldiers was made possible by the technological features of the STING interceptors. The unit reported that these unmanned systems are integrated with the modern Hornet Vision video communication system and equipped with a special 360° omnidirectional antenna. Such engineering solutions ensure stable signal transmission under enemy electronic warfare conditions and allow both a coordinated crew and an independent operator to effectively intercept targets in real time.
The BULAVA battalion reports this on its Telegram channel.
As a reminder, all-weatherinterceptor drones equipped with artificial intelligence are being developed in Ukraine.
In Kyiv and its environs, over 70% of Russian Shahed-type strike drones have been destroyed by interceptor drones.
As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that Ukraine may face difficulties in obtaining missiles for air defense systems due to military operations in the Middle East.
