Fighters of the Phoenix unmanned aerial systems border unit destroyed a gun and several units of heavy armored equipment belonging to Russian invaders on the outskirts of Kostiantynivka.

The State Border Guard Service stated this on its website and released a corresponding video, Ukrinform reports.

Ukrainian fighters are standing guard over Kostiantynivka around the clock, clearing its outskirts of enemy assault troops.

In addition, the defenders are striking Russian logistics, leaving the enemy front line without proper supply. When the enemy attempts to carry out assault actions, it gets a severe response. Ukrainian defenders have burned more than one enemy vehicle, destroyed several units of armored equipment including a tank, as well as an antiquated Soviet M-46 gun.

"It appears that the enemy is experiencing certain problems with artillery systems if scrap metal from the 1950s is already being sent to the front," the border guards noted.
