Video: Ukrainian ground robot destroys Russian FPV drone with a ram attack

In the Pokrovsk sector, a ground-based robotic system of the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a Russian FPV drone by ramming it. The Ukrainian robot emerged victorious in a drone duel while returning from a combat mission.

The ground-based system belongs to the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade of the 7th Airborne Corps. After being pursued by an enemy drone, the operators of the Ukrainian robot initially attempted to maneuver to avoid being hit, after which they decided to ram the drone and destroyed the aerial target.

This was reported by the Telegram channel of the 25th Separate Sicheslav Airborne Brigade. 

A civilian who happened to be passing by helped the Ukrainian defenders, allowing the crew of the ground-based robotic system to complete their combat mission. The soldiers shared this story as an example of Ukrainians’ compassion and support for the Defense Forces.

Over the past day, 202 combat engagements took place on the front lines. The highest number of Russian assaults was recorded in the Pokrovsk direction—27 attacks, all of which were repelled by Ukrainian forces.

On October 7, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine updated the data on Russian army losses in the war against Ukraine. Over the past day, Ukrainian defenders eliminated 1,690 invaders.
