According to Ukrinform, the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman Kost Hordiienko reported this on Facebook and published footage of the combat operation.

"Two Russian 2S19 'Msta-S' self-propelled artillery systems were hiding in the enemy's rear in the Vovchansk sector. But the rear does not guarantee safety from our drone operators," the statement said.

Pilots from the Ares artillery reconnaissance unit of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade, together with the Bulava Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, detected and destroyed the artillery systems.

"A target like this is not simply a matter of 'spotting it and directing a drone.' The self-propelled guns constantly change positions, use camouflage, operate from a distance, and are protected by enemy forces. Therefore, every destroyed system is the result of the precise and coordinated work of our soldiers," the military noted.

As Ukrinform previously reported, operators from the Unmanned Systems Department of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense struck a Russian Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and gun system, a Sarhan-class Project 1100M boat, and a ground control station for Forpost UAVs in southern Ukraine.
