3rd Assault Brigade captures Russian troops using only drones and robots

This was reported by the brigade’s press service.

"Without infantry and without losses. The 3rd Assault Brigade carried out an unprecedented operation—fighters attacked enemy positions in Kharkiv region, cleared them, and took the Russian troops prisoner using only drones and ground robotic platforms," the statement reads.

Enemy fortifications were attacked by FPV drones and kamikaze ground robotic systems (GRSs). As another robot approached a destroyed dugout, the enemy, trying to avoid elimination, announced their surrender. The surviving Russian soldiers were guided by drones to Ukrainian Defense Forces' positions and taken prisoner.

Positions that had twice resisted attempts by neighboring units were successfully captured thanks to the coordinated assault actions of robotic systems. The cleared fortifications and forest strip are now under the control of Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

"This is the first confirmed successful assault in modern warfare carried out exclusively by unmanned platforms!" the press service emphasized.

• In April, Ukraine’s Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov reported that the Ardal robot rescued three wounded Ukrainian soldiers who had been surrounded for a month.
