UAF burned a Russian tank for the first time with the help of a 'dragon drone'.


The Ground Forces of the UAF confirmed that servicemen of the 30th Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed a Russian tank using a dragon drone. This was reported by the Ground Forces Command on Telegram.
It is indicated that the tank was hit by fighters of the 'Evil Sakers' battalion in the Donetsk direction.
The Ground Forces units are effectively using unmanned systems against the enemy in all directions, added the message.
The dragon drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle specially designed for military tasks, in particular, for reconnaissance and attacking the enemy. This type of drone got its name due to its unique design and capabilities, which allow it to effectively perform combat missions. The UAV sprays a thermite mixture (a metal incendiary substance similar to lava).
Recall, a few days earlier, drones of the Security Service, Special Operations Forces of the UAF, and other Defense Forces attacked warehouses with KABs, parking areas of SU-35 and SU-34 planes, as well as aviation fuel storage places at the 'Borisoglebsk' military airfield in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation.
By the way, the American company AeroVironment signed an agreement on the localization of Switchblade 600 in Ukraine. AeroVironment plans to produce several thousand Switchblade 600 in Ukraine within a year.
Earlier, it became known that on the night of October 3, Russian occupiers shelled Kyiv with strike drones. Air defense operated in the city. Later it became known that the debris of an enemy drone fell near a high-rise building.
