Video: An occupier tried in vain to hide from a Ukrainian drone behind a pine branch

A video has surfaced online showing Ukrainian drone operators in action, in which a Russian soldier attempts to hide from an airstrike. To do so, he used a pine branch he was carrying in his hands, but his attempt proved futile.

 

As a Ukrainian kamikaze drone approached, the Russian occupier tried to hide behind a large pine branch he was carrying. Despite his attempt to conceal himself, the drone operators delivered a precise strike on the enemy’s position and eliminated him.

The strike was carried out by fighters from the “SoKill” unit, part of the 1st Unmanned Systems Battalion of Ukraine’s 117th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade.

Over the past day, 234 combat engagements were recorded on the front lines, with the majority of assaults taking place in the Pokrovsk direction. This is according to operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 8:00 a.m. on August 20.

As a reminder, Kyiv and Brovary were the main targets of the Russian Federation’s offensive.

Since the evening of August 19, Russian troops have attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 20 times. The occupiers used drones, aerial bombs, and artillery in their strikes.

Earlier, it was reported that an incident involving power grid infrastructure was recorded in the Brovary community as a result of the enemy attack.
