Civilian drone operators helped the Armed Forces to defeat the Tank Regiment of the Russian Federation - the media (video)

In Podcast, the battle is discussed in Brovary, when the Russian 6th Regiment of the elite 90th Guards Tank Division was attacked and rejected by the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade with heavy losses. The Ukrainian military was assisted by amateur civilian operators who provided information on the location of the invaders and helped to adjust the strikes with their drones.

According to Michael Kafman, initially the use of UAV was a one -time character: the soldiers contacted drones through WhatsApp. However, the network was soon filled with a video of the destruction of Russian tank columns filmed by civilians who control drones. Rob Lee believes that there were about 80 people in Kiev, who began to use their drones at the beginning of a full -scale war to help the Armed Forces.

Their initiative, in particular, helped the military cause the heavy losses of the 6th Tank Regiment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "In this case, I think it was a civilian person who had a UAV who actively scanned the terrain and seems to have discovered the Russian 6th Tank Regiment in Brovary. I think he was the first to find him and passed the information in WhatsApp. Said Rob Lee.

Michael Kafman also mentioned the role of UAV TB2 Bayraktar of Turkish production, which were successfully used in the first days of the invasion, destroying many Russian equipment. However, later the Russians adapted and learned to knock down these drones. Since then, they have virtually disappeared from the battlefield in Ukraine.

We will remind, according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, during the battle in the Brovarsky district of Kyiv region, Colonel Andriy Zakharov of the Armed Forces of Russia was liquidated. The Armed Forces Veteran Yuriy Kasyanov also reported that during the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, 15-year-old teenager Andrei Pokras brought Ukrainian artillery into Russian troops with the help of his drone.
