Russian FPV Attack Drone Eliminate Ukrainian Troops

The Russian Armed Forces skillfully use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) during the special military operation to accomplish assigned tasks without losing military personnel.

A video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows a Russian FPV attack drone striking Ukrainian servicemen hiding in a trench. One of the soldiers can be seen shooting, seemingly in an attempt to get the kamikaze drone coming his way. But his assault rifle proves to be ineffective - the UAV rams into the Ukrainian trenches, exploding spectacularly.

Ukraine launched a counteroffensive against Russian forces in early June after multiple postponements. Citing the counteroffensive's needs, Kiev pushed its Western donors to step up the military and financial aid.
