This is stated on the brigade's page, according to Espreso TV.

According to the soldiers, the destruction of the enemy forces continues every day, without a break for the invaders. UAV operators with the 71st Separate Ranger Brigade and attached units showed another series of destroyed enemy targets.

"The invaders are trying to disguise themselves, but our drones are always able to find and destroy them. Enemy armoured vehicles, cannons, infantry are doomed when the drones of the 71st Brigade go hunting," the video description adds.

What is known about the 71st Separate Ranger Brigade

The 71st Separate Ranger Brigade was created immediately after the start of the large-scale Russian invasion.

Its first units went into action two months later. Since then, the brigade's units have been destroying the invading Russian forces in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. The warriors have proved the slogan "Immitis" - ruthless - more than once. Chevrons - first with a boar, then with a Semargle - terrified the enemy, and there were cases when Russians abandoned their positions only after learning that a brigade of rangers was standing against them. Six months after its creation, the unit was transferred to the Airborne Assault Forces and its soldiers fought in the hottest spots of the frontline. The 71st Brigade distinguished itself in the battles for Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, Robotyne, and Avdiivka

Combat work of Ukrainian defenders

The other day, the soldiers of the 71st Separate Ranger Brigade showed how they destroyed the Russians using FPV drones. Before that, military rangers from the 71st Brigade showed how to drive 'kamikaze' drones into the "holes" of an enemy armoured vehicle.

Recently, the same brigade's aerial reconnaissance team discovered a mortar position of Russian troops and destroyed it with the help of FPV drones.

Meanwhile, in the Kharkiv sector, paratroopers of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade did not allow the enemy to gain a foothold in their positions.

It was also reported that Ukrainian rangers shot at a Russian tank, which the invaders tried to "protect" from drones with metal.
