In May, soldiers of the 92nd ‘Ivan Sirko’ Assault Brigade hit hundreds of targets in the Kharkiv region with drones.
The brigade’s drone operators reported that at least 557 targets were hit.
To detect and destroy targets, the brigade involves aerial reconnaissance men of the Attack Drone Group “Flight Club”, the Attack Drone Battalion “Achilles”, and other units with attack drones.
According to published data, 141 units of equipment were damaged, and another 45 units of equipment were completely destroyed.
Drones attacked 224 engineering fortifications of various types.
The list also includes:
- 1 ammunition depot – destroyed, 1 warehouse with supplies – damaged
- 17 soldiers – liquidated
- 84 soldiers – wounded
- 27 positions of the invader’s UAV pilots – damaged, 2 – destroyed
The military noted that armored vehicles were used more intensively in Bakhmut during the assault than in the Kharkiv region.
In the Kharkiv sector, the Russians are actively using aerial reconnaissance and intensifying missile attacks.
“Almost all of the artillery supporting the enemy’s offensive is located on the territory of the Russian Federation, and due to the long ban on strikes with Western weapons, counter-battery combat has been reduced to the use of drones,” the military said.

In addition, the number of Russian air defense systems is extremely high on this section of the front line.
“This is an order of magnitude more than in the Bakhmut sector, and the anti-aircraft weapons themselves are of the latest models,” the military added.

The Ukrainian military is using Western weapons to destroy Russian air defense systems. Recently, the military conducted an accurate strike on the position of the Russian S-400 SAM system in the Belgorod region.
“Almost all of the artillery supporting the enemy’s offensive is located on the territory of the Russian Federation, and due to the long ban on strikes with Western weapons, counter-battery combat has been reduced to the use of drones,”
Surely, the situation has changed, since almost everyone is allowing strikes to be carried out with their weapons on mafia soil. But, drones are still a very important part of Ukraine’s arsenal to destroy the mafia army.
