According to him, a new sample of an enemy first-person view (FPV) drone was launched from a distance of 12 kilometers. The traitor carried out visual observation directly on the spot and adjusted fire on Prokudin's car.

"We managed to document all this. He was detained at the stage of an attempted assassination. The enemy drone was landed in a timely manner thanks to our electronic warfare systems," Maliuk said.
