This is stated on the fighters' Facebook page, Espreso reports. 

The Lviv soldiers destroyed the enemy tank using drones with an integrated warhead, which are capable of quickly attacking a target or performing tasks provided for by the algorithm. The post says that the brigade's fighters have successfully mastered and are using this type of enemy destruction.

This time, while on combat duty, the Lviv Territorial Defense fighters spotted the occupying Russian troops' heavy equipment. While some drones were tracking the enemy's route, others launched 'hellfire' into the air. The first hit deprived the tank of the ability to move, the second effectively blew up the combat vehicle, and the third finally turned it into scrap metal.

“This outcome is a natural one, as it is the result of hard training and emphasizes our ability to effectively implement the skills we have learned on the battlefield. I congratulate all the servicemen on their excellent achievement and thank them for their dedicated service and impeccable performance discipline! Glory to Ukraine!” commented Brigade Commander Colonel Valeriy Kurko.

For reference. The 103rd Detached Brigade of the AFU Territorial Defense Forces is a cadre formation of the AFU Territorial Defense Forces  in the Lviv region. The brigade is part of the West Regional Directorate of the Territorial Defense Forces.

  • Earlier, UAV operators of the 103rd Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces showed how they conducted a successful night hunt for the occupying Russian forces.
