Ukraine drone strikes decimate Russian front-line arsenal

The recording depicted the destruction of 10 different Russian vehicles. This included two tanks, three howitzers, a BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher, a self-propelled artillery unit, two armored vehicles, and a supply truck.

"In the Pokrovske direction, the border guard maintains defense and destroys the enemy in one of the hottest areas of the front," stated a brief communiqué.

The footage highlights drones' crucial role in the operations of the Ukrainian Border Guard. These drones have become a symbol of the ongoing war, used extensively by both sides of the conflict.

It's not just about the small FPV drones operating as kamikaze weapons, but also slightly larger unmanned aerial vehicles capable of dropping grenade or mine charges on targets from the air. For instance, "Baba Yaga" drones can carry about 44 lbs of cargo.

Among the visible Russian losses, those involving artillery systems are particularly noteworthy. According to Ukrainian military officials and many analysts, recent Russian movements confirm that problems with this type of equipment are growing. The destroyed equipment is increasingly difficult to replace with units from storage, leading to reinforcements from North Korea in the form of M1978 Koksan self-propelled guns with a caliber of 6.7 inches and rocket launchers with a caliber of 4.8 inches, "disguised" as civilian trucks.

Interestingly, the latter are based on the Soviet BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher, whose destruction the Ukrainian Border Guard recently highlighted. The rockets most commonly used in them have a range of up to 12 miles.
