Ukrainian troops destroyed a Russian vehicle used to launch Shahed drones

Ukrainian military forces used an attack drone to destroy a Russian passenger car that was being used as a mobile launch platform for “Shahed”-type drones.

The unit noted that this was a rare target—a modified pickup truck equipped with a special launch system for drones

According to them, the Russian military uses such vehicles as one of the methods for launching attack drones.

The brigade also reported that destroying such launch platforms helps reduce the threat to Ukrainian cities.

It was previously reported that Russian troops are using various methods to launch kamikaze drones, including from ground-based mobile platforms.

This was reported by the press service of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign.

On June 25, explosions were heard in Ufa, Russia, after which a thick column of black smoke was visible near one of the industrial facilities. 

On the night of June 25, occupied Crimea came under another drone attack. Explosions were heard in various parts of the peninsula, and as a result of strikes on energy infrastructure facilities, power was temporarily cut off in Simferopol, Yalta, and Yevpatoria.

The Moscow Oil Refinery, which was attacked overnight, controls one-third of the Russian capital’s fuel market.

Russian drones struck the Zaporizhzhia region, leaving several people injured.
