A unique operation: ground drones destroyed an enemy reconnaissance and sabotage group in Kostiantynivka (video)
An operation involving ground-based unmanned systems took place in the frontline town of Kostiantynivka, during which an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group was eliminated. According to preliminary reports, eight Russian occupiers were killed.
Soldiers of the 100th Separate Mechanized Brigade (“Steel Hundred”) carried out a successful robotic assault, eliminating eight trained occupiers with criminal backgrounds.
According to intelligence, the enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group had seized an abandoned high-rise building to establish a base and carry out further terrorist attacks. Since there were insufficient personnel at the nearest position to conduct a direct assault without heavy losses, the brigade command employed a tactic involving three ground robotic systems (GRS).
Distraction maneuver: The first ground drone acted as a decoy, forcing the occupiers to reveal their positions and concentrate all their fire on it.
Kamikaze strike: While the enemy was distracted, a second UGC loaded with 300 kilograms of explosives drove into the rear of the building. Noticing the threat at the last moment, the saboteurs tried to hide in the elevator shaft, but the powerful explosion caused the building to collapse, trapping them inside.
Logistical Support: A third robot delivered additional weapons and anti-tank mines to Ukrainian infantrymen at a neighboring position in advance for the final encirclement.
After the explosion, soldiers of the 100th Mechanized Brigade secured the ruins and offered the surviving invaders the chance to surrender. The occupiers refused and opened fire, after which the entire group of eight saboteurs was eliminated. This operation served as an example of ideal coordination between infantry and cutting-edge technology, enabling the completion of a complex mission without any casualties among Ukrainian soldiers.
Since the start of the day on May 12, Russian troops have attacked the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces 57 times; the most intense fighting is ongoing in the Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk directions.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a Russian missile carrier equipped with Kalibr missiles.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces denied reports of an attempt by a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group to break through to Nikopol.
