Recent operations reported heavy losses on Russian assets, with advanced equipment such as the Kozerog-1 MLRS, Tornado and Grad multiple launch rocket systems destroyed by units like Phoenix and Strazh. The Hart and Forpost brigades thwarted numerous assaults in strategic sectors while minimizing enemy advances. Furthermore, innovative use of FPV drones by the Steel Border pilots and drone operators from Forpost ensured precision strikes on enemy logistics. The Border Guards’ operations not only impede enemy capabilities but also bolster Ukraine’s defenses in the ongoing conflict.
