In the Kharkiv region, units of the Iron Brigade are demonstrating coordinated and highly effective operations simultaneously in two dimensions — in the air and on the ground. Over the course of one day, Ukrainian warriors destroyed enemy reconnaissance drones, infantry, and armored vehicles.
This is stated in the description of a video published on the page of the 3rd Separate Heavy Mechanized Iron Brigade.
Skies without “Eyes”
The interceptor battery of the anti-aircraft missile and artillery division — known as the “Iron Birds” — demonstrated record-breaking effectiveness. Over the course of a single day, air defense troops destroyed six enemy reconnaissance UAVs: four Zala-type drones and two “Skat” UAVs.
Strike on infantry
On the ground, the results were no less tangible. The crew of the “Hatilo” Unmanned Systems Battalion destroyed two Russian occupiers near the village of Dvorichanske by dropping munitions from a bomber drone. The precise work of the drones left the enemy no chance to retreat or take cover.
Two strikes on a tank
A separate “high-value” target was taken out by the Crazy Cats group of the mechanized battalion. After detecting fire from a Russian tank, the operators promptly launched FPV drones and struck the armored vehicle with two consecutive hits.
