Ukrainian soldiers destroyed enemy drone carrying flag, which was perched on roof of building and ’waving’ tricolour. VIDEO

In the Lyman sector, the Russian occupiers resorted to an unusual method of simulating an advance: instead of deploying infantry, the enemy used a drone to carry a Russian flag to a location their troops were unable to reach.

According to Censor.NET, footage of the operation was released by soldiers of the 63rd Separate Mechanised Brigade, the ‘Steel Lions’.

The Russians mounted the tricolour on a drone and sent it to an area inaccessible to their infantry units. In this way, the occupiers were likely attempting to create the impression of their presence in this territory.

Drone operators from the 63rd Separate Mechanised Brigade spotted an enemy drone "waving" the tricolour on the roof of a building and swiftly destroyed it.
