In the Sumy direction, a Ukrainian attack drone operator detected a concentration of about fifteen Russian occupiers and launched a strike directly at the center of the enemy group. Footage of the combat operations was released by pilots of the 71st Separate Airmobile Brigade's strike unmanned aerial vehicle battalion.
Video footage captured by a drone's thermal imaging camera shows a group of Russian invaders gathered near a road. Approximately 15 occupiers can be seen in the footage, positioned a short distance apart.
The Ukrainian pilot took advantage of the moment when the Russians were in one place and directed an attack drone into the very center of their concentration.
The recording ends at the moment of impact, so it is impossible to determine the exact number of killed and wounded occupiers from this footage.
According to Oboronka and Rubryka, OSINT analysts from the Exilenova+ project reported that the Russian military likely uses this tactic to confuse artificial intelligence-equipped drones that can autonomously detect and strike targets.
A video published on the project's page captured three vehicles simulating mobile fire groups of the Russian army. All of them sit along a short stretch of road. Structures mimicking weapons and fire group equipment are mounted on the vehicles' trunks. The OSINT project suggests that Russian forces may deploy such structures to counter AI-equipped drones. These UAVs can independently identify targets and initiate strikes. Furthermore, Exilenova+ reported similar instances of fake positions set up along roadways.
