The video featuring the drone was published on social media. "We have no idea what could have been flying to Moscow! But we assure you that all of you who donated for revenge are definitely not involved here," Prytula said.
The video captured three drones that, according to the volunteer, could have attacked Moscow on July 30. Militarnyi reported that one of the drones hit the 10th floor of the IQ-Kvartal office building complex, where the offices of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media were located.

A building was damaged, later identified in the OSINT community as probably one of the GS Main Directorate facilities. In addition, on May 30, a mass attack on the capital of the enemy took place with the participation of Beaver drones. According to the Russians, at that time, about 25 UAVs flew to Moscow.
In his Instagram, Serhiy Prytula noted that the cost of one drone is about UAH 4 million (£108,000). He added that 50 such drones for the amount of UAH 200 million were purchased for the Defense Forces of Ukraine at the expense of the Serhiy Prytula Charitable Fund. In addition, the flight range of drones is 1000 kilometers.

Such a layout can help the drone to effectively change its altitude to pass air defense zones or to change the target.
As previously reported, the Russians were preparing to counter drones during the naval parade in St.
Petersburg, which is located 860 kilometers from the Ukrainian borders.
