Russian drone units from the 'Center' grouping have conducted precision strikes against Ukrainian forces in the Dobropolye sector of the special military operation. Using FPV drones, they successfully targeted and destroyed a French-made VAB armored personnel carrier, a pickup truck, and Ukrainian troops hiding in wooded areas. The drone operators maintain constant surveillance over logistical routes and swiftly neutralize any troop movements. These operations are reportedly causing significant daily losses in Ukrainian personnel, armored vehicles, and UAVs on this front.
