The 40th Separate Artillery Brigade, named after Grand Duke Vytautas, has been instrumental in Ukraine's defensive and offensive tactics against Russian occupiers in 2025. Renowned for its precision and strategic use of kamikaze drones like Wild Hornets, the brigade has successfully destroyed enemy tanks, artillery positions, and armored vehicles. Recent missions have seen the annihilation of multiple enemy "Loaves" vehicles and sophisticated elimination of electronic warfare stations, showcasing significant advancements in drone warfare and reconnaissance capabilities. These actions not only demoralize enemy forces but also strengthen the strategic positioning of Ukrainian troops. The brigade continues to play a pivotal role in liberating occupied territories and reducing the operational capacities of enemy forces, proving vital in the ongoing conflict.
