The occupiers are furious at their inability to break through the positions of the "Iron Brigade," so they resort to a "flag stunt"—simulating the capture of a settlement.

One such incident took place in the village of Kolodiazne, in the Kharkiv region. There isn't a single Russian in sight; the only things that show up are enemy "motorized ghosts"—drones.

It was an enemy drone that recently dropped a rag—their tricolor flag—in the village. The clear intent was to capture it on video and present it as "proof" of control over the settlement, only to then spread this lie everywhere, like a plague.

The threat was neutralized by soldiers from a rifle battalion holding the line in this area.

First, our FPV drone destroyed the "tricolor" [Russian flag]—along with the Russian drone carrying it—in a single strike. Then, an infantryman from the "Iron Brigade" emerged from cover, displaying a Ukrainian flag, leaving no doubt as to whose land this is.
