Russian forces have released new video footage showing their drone units targeting and destroying Ukrainian ground robotic complexes. The footage, shared by a unit calling itself the '#1_tank_army', claims to be preventing an 'uprising of Ukro-robots' in an operational area. The strikes highlight the ongoing battlefield duel between Russian FPV drones and Ukraine's deployment of unmanned ground vehicles for logistics and assault. This is the second such video released by Russian forces in recent weeks, indicating a continued focus on countering Ukraine's robotic assets.
