This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) on its telegram channel. 

In the video, a Ukrainian UAV flying over Cape Tarkhankut in Crime is being pursued by two combat helicopters and one plane. 

"Despite the continuous fire, our UAV left the "battlefield" unharmed and successfully returned to the base," the caption reads. 

GUR writes that more and more often their drones come out unharmed not only after meeting with Russian air defense but also in face-to-face collisions with enemy aircraft.

"They're kind of lame...", commented the UAV operator.

 
  • On August 30, drones launched from Russian territory attacked an air base in Pskov. During the attack, two Il-76 transport aircraft were destroyed, and two more were heavily damaged. 

  • Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), claimed that his people were working from the territory of Russia
