Deadly drones are a daily occurrence in the war in Ukraine. In a recent video, the skills of a drone operator were highlighted as they maneuvered through a densely overgrown garden and flew straight into a villa, where an entire Russian unit was hiding...

On Tuesday, June 25, the 853rd day of the war in Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that since February 24, 2022, they have destroyed 8,035 tanks and 259 Russian aircraft. Drones are not mentioned in the statistics, likely because estimating the number of missions involving unmanned aerial vehicles is challenging.

We have often described the skills of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle operators. Another video of a combat drone mission from the battlefield was shared by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, demonstrating that maneuvering such a machine sometimes requires real expertise.

The drone, seen in the video, is undoubtedly piloted by a specialist. The number of obstacles and the difficulty of the mission are truly impressive.

He flew into the villa and blew up the entire enemy unit

The video shows several members of the Russian unit. The soldiers flee to a large abandoned house for shelter, unaware that this mistake would most likely cost them their lives.

An observer drone operator sees everything from a high altitude. At this moment, a second drone enters the fray. The kamikaze drone starts its approach. The operator skillfully maneuvers between the bushes in the garden, steering the drone perfectly to the villa's front door.

The drone then flies through the doorway and traverses a few more metres to ensure that the blast radius will be maximized. The detonation follows.

The video was shared on platform X, and internet users appreciated the operator's skills.

A little more, and drone operators will be dialing the number on the intercom - wrote one commenter. Another echoed: - Professional work.
