It is worth noting that with the help of ZALA drones of various modifications, the Russians detect Ukrainian positions and adjust fire from various weapons. And Lancet UAVs hit military equipment in the rear at a distance of tens of kilometers.

Therefore, destroying their operators is one of the priorities of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. A Ukrainian drone recorded the moment of the strike.

The drone was monitoring the invaders' position and helping to determine their exact coordinates.

It is reported that Russian drone operators were hit west of the village of Krasna Poliana in the Donetsk region. DeepState reported that the strike engaged soldiers of the 1st Brigade's air defense unit, the crew of the Leleka UAV of the 58th Brigade's air defense unit, and the American HIMARS rocket system of the Zaporizhzhia operational group of troops.

In addition to striking Russian drone operators with precision-guided missiles. The Ukrainian troops also use FPV drones to neutralize Russian UAVs in the air. The Russian military also complains about Ukrainian drones intercepting its reconnaissance drones. In particular, the 225th Assault Battalion's "Black Swan" drone team recently released a video showing an operator ramming a Russian Autel drone, causing it to fall.

This positive practice can give the Ukrainian military an advantage on the battlefield.
