Unmanned aerial vehicles serve various purposes in military operations, including reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, and strike missions.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing unmanned aerial vehicles of Battlegroup Dnepr working near the line of contact with the enemy. Drones are launched at a considerable distance from the operator's location to prevent the enemy from discovering Russian positions.
Thanks to UAVs, the Russian military is able to enhance its operational capabilities, reduce risks to human personnel, and maintain a technological edge. Drones offer a range of advantages in modern warfare, from an extended operational endurance and the ability to operate in dangerous environments, to real-time data transmission.
WATCH Russian military destroy huge TV tower in Ukraine
The Russian military conducted a high-precision strike on a large TV tower located in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov on Monday, multiple videos circulating online show.
The installation was used by Kiev’s military to house various equipment, including an air defense communication antenna, RIA Novosti reported, citing pro-Russian locals. The tower was once the tallest building in the city, measuring just over 240 meters.
The structure sustained a direct hit by an unknown high-precision projectile, which took roughly a third of it off completely, footage shows.
The top part of the tower collapsed after the strike. It was not immediately clear whether it caused any damage on the ground, given that the tower is located in a remote wooded area in the north of the Ukrainian city.
The fallen part of the tower landed in the woods surrounding the Kharkov TV center, videos shared online in the aftermath of the strike indicate. The massive structure apparently remained in one piece after falling more than 100 meters, crushing trees in the area.
Russia has increased missile strikes across Ukraine this month in retaliation for drone attacks on its oil infrastructure. The main targets included Ukrainian power stations and communication towers.

Russian Troops Improving Positions During Special Operation in Ukraine - Kremlin
The Russian troops have been improving their positions along the front line, the Kremlin spokesperson said Monday in a comment on a new Ukraine aid package that passed the US Congress over the weekend.
"The Russian armed forces involved in the special military operation have been improving their positions, and the general dynamic is absolutely clear to everyone," Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
The spokesperson added that the passage of the $61-billion aid package by the House of Representatives would have no significant impact on facts on the ground.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he hoped the upper house of Congress would have a vote on the bill as soon as Tuesday before it is sent to the president's desk for signing. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner said the United States could resume military supplies to Ukraine by the end of next week.
