Russian military destroyed AFU pickup trucks in DNR using FPV drone

FPV drone calculations on fiber optics of the "West" group of troops hit pickup trucks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR). This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on February 18.

"Servicemen of the reconnaissance unit of the 25th Combined Arms Army of Army Group West using UAVs identified moving and camouflaged in the forest area pickup trucks of the AFU in the zone of the SSO in the Donetsk People's Republic," the ministry said in a statement.

Having analyzed this intelligence, Russian fighters decided to strike at the enemy vehicles, and the calculations of fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones promptly destroyed the pickup trucks.

The objective control footage, which was obtained in real time, shows that the drone hits were accurate.
