The video of the capture of the enemy drone was published in the @lost_warinua Telegram channel. According to the Defense Blog, the Russian Orlan-30 UAV was forced to make an emergency landing as a result of the electronic warfare system influencing it. After that, Ukrainian defenders probably used an aerial drone to detect an enemy drone between their own positions and those of the Russian invaders in the so-called "gray zone."
