In a remarkable display of modern drone warfare on the Eastern Front, six Ukrainian FPV drone operators reportedly destroyed 27 Russian military vehicles within a single 24-hour period. Working in rotating eight-hour shifts, the team maintained relentless pressure after Ukrainian forces neutralized nearby Russian electronic warfare jammers, creating a temporary window of clear electromagnetic conditions for precise strikes.

The operation showcased impressive coordination: while one operator piloted drones toward targets, their partner prepared the next drone for immediate launch. Using commercial-grade FPV drones fitted with warheads (each costing around $500), the small team targeted a mix of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, cargo trucks, artillery pieces, and command vehicles. Thermal imaging enabled continued accuracy even after nightfall, contributing to a high success rate across dozens of sorties.
