Since the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian Armed Forces have been skillfully using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to accomplish the assigned tasks without any loss of military personnel.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing a Russian Viking kamikaze UAV destroying a Ukrainian mortar unit near Soledar in the Donetsk People's Republic.
The footage shows how the reconnaissance drone first identified the position of the Ukrainian mortar unit, and then a kamikaze drone struck the mortar position.
Ukraine launched a counteroffensive against Russian forces in early June after several postponements. Citing the counteroffensive's needs, Kiev pushed its Western donors to step up military and financial aid. Three months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, with Ukraine suffering an estimated 71,000 casualties. Several Western officials have also admitted that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had not been successful so far.
