According to a report from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), Russian operators of the Skat 35,000M UAV have been eliminated in the temporarily occupied city of Tokmak in the Zaporizhia region. This development is significant as it demonstrates the continued efforts of Ukrainian forces to counter Russian military operations in the region.
The Skat 350M UAV, a model commonly used by Russian forces in the conflict, was reportedly used in attacks on Ukrainian territory. The destruction of its operators in Tokmak is a major setback for Russian military strategy in the area. Ukrainian intelligence has been working closely with frontline units to identify and neutralize such threats, as part of a broader effort to protect civilian populations and reclaim occupied territories.
The incident underscores the dynamic nature of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where both sides continue to engage in intense military operations. The GUR’s report highlights the importance of intelligence gathering and rapid response in countering enemy threats. As the conflict evolves, such developments will likely have broader implications for the balance of power on the battlefield.
