Ukrainian defenders air-drop ground robots onto occupied left bank of Kherson region for first time

First air drop of ground robots

The Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the conduct of a unique operation. For the first time in history, Ukrainian defenders carried out an air drop of ground robotic complexes (GRCs) onto the temporarily occupied left-bank bridgehead in Kherson region.

As noted by the Navy, the mission was successfully completed: a hostile target was detected and eliminated, with no losses among Ukrainian military personnel.

Course of combat action

After landing at the designated point, the robot began moving independently along a pre-plotted route. While moving, the machine managed to detect a position where Russian unmanned aerial vehicle operators were located.

When one of the hostile servicemen exited the building, the Ukrainian operator controlling the robot remotely activated an explosive device. As a result of the detonation, the target was completely destroyed.

Outcome of the operation

According to the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the operation concluded successfully. Ukrainian forces suffered no losses, and the hostile target was eliminated using robotic equipment.
