The Ukrainian “Drone Army” destroyed a record number of Russian guns in a week. The strike units provided within the project eliminated 56 units of these weapons.
Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedrov reported on the successes of the fighters on Telegram . He explained that in attempts to stop the counter-offensive of the Defense Forces, the Russians are actively using guns.
“But the operators of the Drone Army are violating the plans of the occupiers,” Fedorov emphasized.
In addition, according to him, Ukrainian UAVs have also acquired other equipment over the past week, namely 41 tanks and 34 armored vehicles.
“Incredible results. We are waiting for new records from our heroes and thank you for your service,” the minister stated.
Let us recall that also over the previous week, strike units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, provided within the framework of the “Army of Drones,” hit 201 units of military equipment of the Russian occupation forces. The aggressor state suffered losses amounting to tens of millions of dollars.
Thus, from September 4 to September 11, 35 tanks, 55 armored combat vehicles, 11 self-propelled guns, 36 guns, 58 trucks, 3 pieces of radio equipment, 48 strong points, 12 ammunition and fuel depots, 2 mortars/ATGM/machine guns were hit with the help of drones, 1 RZSV, 62 occupiers.
As OBOZREVATEL reported:
– Partisans of the ATESH movement reported that a unit from the Russian special rapid reaction unit “Akhmat” suffered significant losses and retreated before Ukrainian forces in the Bakhmut area of the Donetsk region. The flight of Kadyrov’s militants allowed the defenders of Ukraine to occupy an important stronghold directly near the village. Kleschiyivka.
– Forbes calculated that Russia spends about $300 million every day on the war against Ukraine. And for a year and a half of a full-scale invasion, Moscow’s expenses amount to approximately 167.3 billion dollars, of which more than 34 billion are the military equipment of the Russian troops destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is a respectable result for Ukraine’s Army of Drones. And, 56 pieces of destroyed artillery pieces plus 8 self-propelled howitzers means hundreds of shells less that rain down on AFU troops every day, maybe even thousands less.
“The flight of Kadyrov’s militants allowed the defenders of Ukraine to occupy an important stronghold directly near the village. Kleschiyivka.”
If the TikToks are running, Ukraine must have penetrated deep behind the russian lines.
I always thought the sound of distant battles is enough to make them scatter.
Thousands of drones armed with clusters would do a lot of damage.
UNITED24 is another trusted place to donate towards Ukraine’s Army of Drones project.

Yes, indeed it is. Thanks for the input, Sir Bill.
In other news, no record numbers of Leopard 1 delivered, sadly, but an embarrassing flop: Der Spiegel reports, Ukraine refuses the import of the first 10 of the tanks because of serious quality issues. The systems are flawed, not ready for combat use. Apparently, these are the same Leos that had been used for training the crews and they hadn’t been maintained careful enough. As a German citizen, I can only offer my embarrassed apologies on behalf of my country. This is yet another example how much our Bundeswehr and the arms industry have been run down, I’m afraid. Neither equipment, planning, logistics nor production is ready for war. Our new minister of defence is doing his best to overcome this, but the shortcomings of the last three decades take time to be corrected. 🙁
Thanks for the apology, Mr. Gray, but there is no need to. We on here have been well aware of Germany’s deplorable military state. Your previous leaders have been good at letting the Bundeswehr rot away as you enjoyed a free ride of security at the expense of the US. Virtually everything in your military has deteriorated, not only tanks.
Well, Mr. Ofp, please don’t extend this to our soldiers, who are still trying to do their best, but become victims of this rotten system of bureaucratic incompetence. And to add insult to injury, they get next to no respect for their efforts from society. Its a very sad state of affairs. 🙁
The common soldier is never at fault for such things. That’s a given.
Many of us on here have also lamented our national shortcomings in relation to Ukraine. Fighting everything from propaganda to genocide. But yes one of the biggest disappointments has been unfulfilled promises or delivery not meeting needs or expectations.
