In brief
Ukraine’s navy said the 426th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment flew an explosive ground robot across the Dnipro to strike a Russian drone crew’s position on the occupied left bank.
A Perun drone carried the ground robot, equipped with a 7-kilogram warhead, to the occupied left bank of the Dnipro, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing Ukraine’s navy. The navy said the robot retained its control and communications after landing.
The regiment’s ground robot platoon worked alongside FPV drone, bomber drone and reconnaissance drone crews. As the robot travelled towards a building housing Russian drone operators, Ukrainian troops identified other Russian positions from the robot and the air and struck them with FPV drones, according to the account.
The operator detonated the robot at the entrance when a Russian serviceman emerged from the building. An FPV drone then struck the position again, the navy said.
The navy reported no Ukrainian military casualties and said all stages of the operation were recorded on video. RBC-Ukraine’s report did not specify the operation’s date, the settlement involved or Russian casualty figures.
