OR Ukraine He claims to have made a great raid inside Russia Using only two cheap drones, which cost $ 600.
Two bridges in the Belgorod area, critical to Moscow refueling streets, were destroyed after Ukraine’s forces discovered that Russia was using explosive storage.
According to the 58th Separate Motor Infantry Brigade of Ukraine, the discovery was made after unusual movements found around one of the bridges near the border with Kharkov.
Speaking to CNN, a brigade spokesman explained: “It became clear that something was happening there. We could not throw a regular recognition drone under the bridge because the signal would just disappear, so we threw a first -person drone equipped with fiber optic. “
What they found was a “jackpot”: a huge stack of anti -tank mines and ammunition hidden under the bridge. “We saw the mines and we hit,” the brigade spokesman said. Video shows the drone flying straight into the warehouse, causing a huge explosion.
The soldiers did not stop there. After the first explosion, a second bridge searched. “After that, we decided to check the other bridge. We found that he was also narcoted and we hit, “the spokesman added. “(We saw) an opportunity and grabbed it.”
The business was held at an affordable price. Each drone used in the attacks cost just $ 600-725, according to the Brigade. As the spokesman noted, what would normally require expensive ammunition or rocket systems was achieved with simple first -person drones.
Ukraine has previously used Himars launchers to cut bridges, but they are accurate: Germany paid $ 30 million for just three systems last year, with each rocket costing tens of thousands of dollars. On the contrary, this last mission was cheap and effective.
Similarly, Kiev’s forces used small drones to cause damage or destroy dozens of Russian aircraft, carrying them secretly near airports by trucks in June.
While Russian forces are slowly moving to the forefront and Russian President Vladimir Putin resists talks on a ceasefire, Ukraine continues to counterattack.
