"Today, in the Pokrovsk direction, operators of the 59th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces calmly and professionally did their job. The Birds of Prey crew hit a Russian Ka-52 with an FPV drone. The aircraft, worth millions, was destroyed by a precise FPV drone strike," Palisa said.
He noted that this was not a coincidence, but systematic work. This is already the second such result for this unit.
"The President has just signed a decree awarding these warriors the Order for Courage, Second Class. And it is absolutely well deserved. This is what modern war looks like today. When what matters is not the size of the equipment, but the level of training, precision and technology. Good job," Palisa added.
"For personal courage shown in the defense of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and selfless fulfillment of military duty, I hereby decree:
To award the Order for Courage, Second Class, to
- ANDRUSENKO Yurii Mykhailovych — soldier
