Losses worth millions: FPV drones of the Bulava unit destroyed an enemy base with armored vehicles (video)
What only artillery or aviation could do before is now possible with FPV drones.
A new milestone in the rapid development of FPV drones on the battlefield has been reached – the destruction of an enemy base with armored vehicles, including Terminator armored personnel carriers, BMP-3, two T-72 tanks, two C-60 ZIL rigs, and trucks with ammunition.
All this equipment was destroyed by FPV drones of the Bulava unit of the separate presidential brigade named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The drones themselves were made and donated by the Wild Hornets volunteer team. The location of the incident, which has already been geolocated by OSINT analysts, is on the southern outskirts of Staromlynivka in Donetsk region, 5.5 km from the ground zero.
The video shows a truly more than skillful use of drones, when it was necessary not just to hit the hangar, but to fly into it, select the desired target and direct the drone at it. And this requires a really talented operator who had to fly indoors and do so at the maximum flight range, as evidenced by the low battery sign.
Consistent methodical strikes eventually disabled all the equipment the enemy was trying to hide in this hangar, and the explosion of ammunition completed the job.
In the end, all of this, of course, speaks to the exceptional skill of the drone operators, as well as the coordinated work of the intelligence that revealed the accumulation of enemy armored vehicles.
At the same time, such a group of targets, in the theory of NATO countries, should actually already be in the interests of brigade artillery and tactical aviation. And, for example, the United States could have used a Tomahawk cruise missile for this purpose. But thanks to FPV drones, such tasks can now be fully solved at the lower infantry level.
