Units equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the Russian Airborne Forces have destroyed a group of Ukrainian soldiers near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) in the special military operation zone, Russia’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) told reporters on Tuesday.
The MoD said that “after launching an FPV [first-person view] drone, an operator directed the UAV to the Ukrainian army’s positions.”
"Upon tracking a target, the operator, using VR [virtual reality] glasses, began approaching it as his assistant corrected the drone’s flight, conducting its precise guidance to the object. The crew of the FPV drone then accurately hit two Ukrainian servicemen in a hideout, leaving them not a single chance to save their lives," according to the MoD.
The ministry added that one Ukrainian serviceman was killed and two more seriously wounded in an attack launched by a second Russian FPV drone.
