Success of Ukrainian military in the fight against enemy equipment
It should be noted that pilots of the 59th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter using an FPV drone. The Mi-28N 'Night Hunter' helicopter is one of the main attack helicopters of the Russian army.
On September 9, units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck at hangars used by the occupiers from the 448th Missile Brigade named after S. P. Nepobedimy for the hidden storage of the Iskander OTRK on the territory of a former poultry farm in the Kursk region of Russia. Earlier, the Defense Forces destroyed a Russian drone 'Forpost'.
The events involving FPV drones in the hands of Ukrainian military continue to inflict damage on enemy equipment. They have shot down the Mi-8 helicopter again. Russian war correspondents confirmed the losses, although they initially tried to avoid responsibility. Previous successful attacks by Ukrainian defenders on various types of enemy equipment testify to their effectiveness in battles.
Amid the ongoing conflict, the successes of the Ukrainian army in the fight against the enemy demonstrate an increasing skill in the use of modern technologies. The use of FPV drones has become an important component of military operations, opening up new prospects for Ukrainian forces in their confrontation with regular troops.
