2nd February 2026
Near Pokrovsk, Ukrainian soldiers were saved from Russians thanks to the rapid action of drone units.
During an assault on an observation post, a Russian reconnaissance and sabotage group captured four Ukrainian servicemen. The enemy group escorting them was later detected by Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance drones patrolling the area.
Strike drones were immediately launched by the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade, the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush, and other adjacent units.
The approach of a swarm of FPV drones disoriented the Russian troops and diverted their attention. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Ukrainian soldiers managed to break free from captivity.
Russian troops attempted to hide in bushes and trenches, but within minutes more than ten Ukrainian strike drones engaged the group. Result: the enemy personnel were eliminated.
