Near Pokrovsk, drones acted as saviors for Ukrainian soldiers, helping them evade Russian captivity.
The 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this via Telegram.
During an attack on a observation post, four soldiers were captured by a Russian reconnaissance and sabotage group.
However, aerial reconnaissance patrolling the area identified the Russian group accompanying the Ukrainian troops.
In response, strike drones from the 25th Separate Air Assault Brigade and the 68th Separate Ranger Brigade, among others, were deployed immediately.
The sudden arrival of a swarm of FPV drones disoriented the invaders and diverted their attention, allowing the Ukrainian soldiers to break free from captivity.
Russian forces attempted to hide in bushes and trenches, but within minutes, more than 10 Ukrainian strike drones targeted them.
As a result, the personnel of the Russian forces were eliminated.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces successfully repelled the assault by Russian invaders on Hryshyne in Donetsk region.
