Ukrainian drones struck a Russian UAV workshop in the Kharkiv region
Crews from the 429th Separate "ACHILLES" Unmanned Systems Brigade and the 9th Unmanned Systems Forces Brigade jointly struck a Russian UAV workshop in occupied Novoyegorivka in the Kharkiv region. According to the Ukrainian military, “Anubis” drones were used in the strike. A logistics depot belonging to the Russian Federation’s 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade was also targeted.
The Ukrainian military carried out a joint operation against Russian drone infrastructure in the Kharkiv region. Crews from the 429th “Achilles” Brigade and the 9th Unmanned Systems Brigade attacked Russian military targets in occupied Novoyegorivka. Representatives of the Ukrainian units reported on the results of the operation. They also released a video showing the drones in action.
According to their reports, the main target was a Russian drone workshop. There, the occupiers were repairing UAVs and storing equipment and components. Ukrainian crews used “Anubis” drones to carry out the strike. The released footage shows the drones targeting the designated objectives. Along with the workshop, a logistics depot belonging to the Russian Federation’s 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade was also struck. According to the Ukrainian side, the depot housed equipment and other materials necessary for the operation of Russian UAV units.
Thus, the Ukrainian military claims to have struck two facilities critical to Russian drone units simultaneously. This includes not only the site where drones were repaired but also the logistics depot. Such facilities are of practical importance to Russian forces. After drones are used or damaged, they must be repaired, components replaced, and equipment stocks replenished. According to the Ukrainian military, the strike was directed precisely at this infrastructure.
However, the report does not specify the exact extent of the damage or the number of drones and components destroyed. Therefore, this information should not be considered confirmed at this time. The 429th “ACHILLES” Brigade regularly reports strikes against Russian drone systems and other military infrastructure. The unit is also working on developing its own technologies and deploying various types of UAVs. In particular, the brigade previously reported striking Russian electronic warfare assets, reconnaissance systems, and other equipment.
This time, military personnel from the 9th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces also joined the operation. The joint use of drones made it possible to attack infrastructure that the Ukrainian side links to the operation of Russian UAVs.
Details regarding the consequences of the strike may become available later, following additional reconnaissance and verification of the results. At this time, it is known that the Ukrainian military has reported the destruction of a Russian drone workshop and a logistics depot in Novoyegorivka.
