A video has been published online showing Ukrainian drone operators in action during Operation ‘Vivaldi’. The footage compiles 23 instances of attacks on Russian occupiers, their equipment and positions.

According to Censor.NET, the strikes were carried out by drone operators from the ‘Phoenix’ unit of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, which was operating as part of the supporting forces of the Third Army Corps.

During the operation, Ukrainian military personnel used FPV drones and unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with munitions to target enemy personnel, their defensive positions and logistics.

The footage released shows a series of attacks on Russian infantry and vehicles. A separate clip shows an enemy drone being shot down in mid-air.

According to military sources, the strikes by the "Phoenix" unit were aimed at weakening Russian defences and disrupting the enemy’s logistical support ahead of the advance by Ukrainian assault units.
