This is huge, people. Not only did the drone fly nearly a thousand miles through enemy territory, but it also found its target after going all this way and struck it.
Ukraine’s drone-making abilities have virtually exploded.
Absolutely. Very impressive! 💪👏✌️🍻🇺🇦👍
This was more like a plane than a drone, but it’s good to see the great russian air defense was once again on holiday.
It was a plane drone. Or a plain drone? 🙄
Whatever it was, it did the job.
