Another week has passed, bringing with it even more destroyed enemy troops and equipment. The combat operations of the “Phoenix” border guard unit’s pilots continue across all sectors assigned to us.

The most notable targets were taken out along the Lyman sector of the front. Over the course of the week, the occupiers lost an “Akatsiya” self-propelled artillery system and a “Strela-10” surface-to-air missile system there—not to mention losses among their infantry and other artillery units.

“Phoenix” pilots also struck another artillery piece in the Huliaipole sector. In this area, our aces focused more on targeting enemy logistics and small infantry groups.

A similar situation prevails in the Dobropillia sector: the occupiers’ infiltration tactics are failing, as drones strike enemy motorcycles, ATVs, and sabotage-and-reconnaissance groups.

Over the past week, the enemy suffered the heaviest losses in logistics assets on the Toretsk axis—ranging from “Bukhanka” vans, trucks, and passenger vehicles used to transport personnel to the infantry itself; our drones successfully take them all out.

Any target entering the “Phoenix” zone is subject to immediate destruction. This is an axiom we prove in practice.
