In a groundbreaking military operation, Ukrainian drone units have successfully conducted their first-ever ground attack using only unmanned systems to target and destroy Russian positions near Kharkiv, marking a significant shift in modern warfare tactics.
The operation, which took place near the village of Lyptsi north of Kharkiv, employed a combination of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and first-person view (FPV) drones, completely eliminating the need for infantry presence on the battlefield. The attack was confirmed by Sergeant Volodymyr Dehtiariov, spokesperson for Ukraine's National Guard "Khartia" brigade.
Ukrainian forces deployed dozens of robotic systems during the operation, including UGVs equipped with machine guns and specialized drones for mine-laying and clearance operations. The innovative approach proved successful, resulting in the destruction of Russian military positions while preserving Ukrainian personnel.
This tactical innovation demonstrates Ukraine's strategic emphasis on leveraging advanced technology to counter Russia's numerical advantages. The Ukrainian military has been actively developing new unmanned capabilities, including testing drones with fiber-optic cables that better resist Russian electronic warfare systems.
A Ukrainian drone manufacturing company has also announced the development of the first domestically-produced FPV drone prototype, highlighting the country's growing technological independence in military equipment production.
This unmanned attack represents a new chapter in military operations, showcasing Ukraine's ability to adapt and innovate in response to battlefield challenges while minimizing risks to its personnel.
