Since early August, the 413th Raid Battalion of the Unmanned Systems Forces has destroyed more than 100 Russian military vehicles along the Novopavlivka front.

The Unmanned Systems Forces Command reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Operators of the 413th Raid Battalion have struck over 100 units of both light and heavy enemy vehicles in the Novopavlivka sector since the beginning of August," the statement said.

The Command noted that one of the strikes was "a one-in-a-million shot."

"An FPV drone operator hit a camouflaged Russian truck with a shaped-charge munition. The vehicle instantly burst into flames. By coincidence, however, the drone's camera, transmitter, and battery survived the explosion and continued streaming video for a short time. This allowed the unit to obtain footage for battle damage assessment not only from the spotter drone but also from the very kamikaze drone that destroyed the target," the report said.
