Ukraine affirms that its Air Force struck a drone complex in the Russian region of Kursk, killing up to 20 drone operators.
The general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shared an image on Telegram Monday of a large plume of smoke and debris which rises from an industrial site, claiming that it was “used by the enemy to launch drones of recognition, strike and FPV”.
He said that the drone hub was near Tetkino, a village near the border with Ukraine and around 40 miles west of SudHza.
Business Insider could not independently verify the complaint, but could not geolore the image on the periphery of Tetkino.
The staff said that the attack took place on Saturday, before President Vladimir Putin offered a 30-hour truce with Ukraine. He did not give details on how the attack was carried out.
“The armed forces of Ukraine will continue to destroy the elements of the enemy military infrastructure until a simple peace is obtained,” he said.
The drones were an important part of the fighting in Ukraine, the two parties deploying them to monitor and attack. There are so many drones in the sky above Ukraine that an drone operator said this month that soldiers are blurring everything when they cannot distinguish friendly and enemies.
Russia resumed the city of Kursk of Sudzha in March, reducing the grip of a Ukrainian ribbon on the region that the kyiv forces initially attacked last August, in a cross -border offensive which took the Russian forces off guard.
Ukrainian soldiers, speaking to the BBC, pointed out that their retirement was like a “horror film” and describes an almost constant dam of drone attacks against routing columns.
On Monday, Ukraine has always claimed to hold a territory up to five miles in Russia, according to the analysis of the Washington DC reflection group, the Institute for the Study of War.
A large part of the success of Russia in Kursk reporting has been awarded to advanced drone techniques, including the use of fiber optic drones that are immune to jamming and air targeting of Ukrainian supply lines.
