Defense forces hit two repeaters and five control points of Russian UAVs, - General Staff

The Armed Forces of Ukraine hit seven important Russian targets related to drone control

On August 13 and during the night of August 14, Ukrainian forces struck two ground-based relay stations used to control "Geran" and "Gerbera" drones, as well as five enemy UAV command posts.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Two ground-based relay stations used to control "Geran" and "Gerbera" strike UAVs were destroyed in the Zalizny Port area of the Kherson region.

In addition, five enemy UAV command posts were struck in the following areas:

  • Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region;
  • Zalizny Port, Kherson region;
  • Volfinsky, Kursk region, Russian Federation;
  • Gordievka, Kursk region, Russian Federation;
  • Luhove, Zaporizhzhia region.

Operations against the enemy’s key military targets are ongoing. Ukraine’s defense forces are steadily reducing the Russian aggressor’s ability to deploy unmanned systems and conduct combat operations.

A ground-based repeater facilitates the transmission of control and communication signals between the operator and the drone, thereby extending the range and improving the stability of its operation.
