Ukrainian forces eliminate Russian Shahed drone base in Donetsk VIDEO

Ukrainian Defence Forces have successfully destroyed a key base used for the assembly and launch of Russian Shahed drones at the airport in temporarily occupied Donetsk.

The operation was overseen by the Commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, who described the mission as highly intricate, Caliber.Az reports, citing Ukrainian media.

“The destruction of this complex target was meticulous, and the operation took several months,” Brovdi stated, emphasizing the careful planning and precision required to neutralize the facility.

To recall, Ukrainian air defenders shot down the Russian army’s newest reconnaissance drone, "Kniaz Veshchiy Oleg", named after the ruler of Kyivan Rus, who, as legends said, could foresee the future, the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade said on November 5.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, also known as HUR, destroyed the base of Russian invaders belonging to the most elite and secretive drone Rubikon center in Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast.

The Rubikon unit specializes in the use of unmanned systems, including combat drones, during Russia’s war against Ukraine. It is considered one of the most effective and combat-ready structures of the Russian army.
