"A tactical group of one of the military units of the Special Operations Forces, together with a sniper unit of the Defense Forces, mopped up several localities in Kharkiv direction. In the process, the soldiers seized Akatsiya 2C3 self-propelled gun and a tank which were handed over to the units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine," the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Telegram.

According to the Special Operations Forces data, the Ukrainian soldiers captured a "police officer of Luhansk People’s Republic". After initial questioning, he was handed over to the National Police representatives.

"A Russian unmanned system with ground control stations, antennas, and factory documentation became an important trophy. Orlan-10 is the main UAV used by the enemy to detect Ukrainian positions and adjust artillery fire," the report reads.

It is noted that the captured system is extremely important as it has all the necessary components and documents.

"Therefore, our radio-electronic intelligence and radio-electronic warfare specialists will be able to effectively counter the Russian threat from the sky, and the enemy will suffer greater losses," the military said.

Earlier in Kharkiv region, the fighters of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine seized Russian PTKM-1R landmines.
