Operators of the Apachi UAV Battalion of the 81st Airmobile Brigade are holding back the enemy near Dronivka on the Sloviansk axis.
A video was published on 29 January.
Russian forces have intensified pressure around Dronivka, building up reserves in the Serebrianske Forest and the Siversk area while preparing for assaults toward Dronivka, Platonivka, and Zakitne.
“The main goal of the enemy is to fully capture Dronivka, gain control over the Siverskyi Donets riverbank, and secure dominant heights. If successful, they could place artillery and UAV launch points there, threatening Ukrainian rear areas”, — Apachi reported.
The enemy uses small infiltration groups of 2–6 soldiers, with thermal-shielding cloaks at night and camouflage during the day.
Apachi operators have inflicted the following losses over the past week:
- shelters: 88 damaged, 2 destroyed
- vehicles: 1
- towed artillery: 17 units
- self-propelled artillery: 3 units
- infantry: 300 — 6, 200 — 5
“This work severely complicates enemy logistics and disrupts their attempts to accumulate forces. The situation remains tense but under control”.
