A crew from the Signum battalion has disrupted a large-scale drone attack by Russian forces in the Lyman sector of the front.

The battalion reported this on Telegram, publishing video footage of the combat operation, Ukrinform saw.

Within a short period of time, Signum fighters destroyed 33 enemy Molniya-type kamikaze drones.

According to the military, Russian invaders rely on sheer numbers, launching Molniya drones in waves – against defensive positions, equipment, and shelters.

“Their task is simple: break through and strike. But this time it didn’t work; 33 drones didn’t make it,” the battalion said.
