A video of the combat work was published by the 110th Mechanized Brigade. The invaders used this unmanned ground vehicle to transport cargo. The Ukrainian Defense Forces spotted a Russian unmanned ground vehicle on a wheeled chassis near Avdiivka as it was transporting ammunition for Russian invaders.
After that, the operator of the drone of the 110th Mechanized Brigade used an FPV drone to hit a Russian unmanned ground vehicle as it was moving along the road towards Russian positions. It seems that the munition used for the strike was a version of the PG-7 grenade of the RPG-7 hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher, which was modified for use on drones.

According to the published video, the Russian unmanned ground vehicle caught fire as a result of the hit, and probably there was a detonation of the ammunition it was carrying. It is likely that the enemy unmanned ground vehicle was transporting boxes of ammunition for small arms or other infantry weapons such as grenades, etc.
