This was announced on June 2 by the Russian Defense Ministry.

Military personnel of the unmanned systems unit of the 114th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 51st Guards Combined Arms Army are engaged in detecting and destroying enemy heavy attack and reconnaissance drones around the clock.

"You need to understand how a drone works in the air, to feel its height and speed. It only comes with experience," says the commander of the BpS platoon with the call sign Raccoon.

During the combat mission, the drone control center received information about the need to destroy heavy Ukrainian drones that prevented the advance of the assault groups deep into the enemy's defenses. In response, the crew promptly prepared the Molniya-2 interceptor drone and carried out its covert launch.

"This Lightning is much more maneuverable and faster than the usual one. This makes it easier and easier to hit the enemy," said the UAV operator with the call sign Maestro.

The drone operator promptly overtook the first two targets and destroyed them. During the liquidation of the attack drones, an aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was detected in the sky, which conducted reconnaissance of the area and tried to identify the camouflaged positions of Russian units.

With the third precision strike, the drone was eliminated. As a result, the enemy's reconnaissance and strike potential in this area was reduced.
