The Ukrainian Army’s 63rd Brigade operating in the Serebryanka Forest area captured a Russian serviceman with the use of a drone fitted with a loudspeaker.

The chief of the Luhansk regional military administration, Artem Lysohor, posted a video of the successful effort on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

Fighters from the 107th Battalion, 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade captured the Russian soldier by giving him instructions through a loudspeaker mounted on a drone, Lysohor wrote.

Ukrainian drone pilots detected a Russian serviceman who was trying to hide in the forest strip. They attached a loudspeaker to the drone and played a message: "Surrender and you will live. Drop your weapons and follow the drone. This is your last chance."
