The unit of drone operators of one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to enter the battle after the breakthrough of Ukrainian positions in the Kursk region.
This was reported by Mykola Melnyk, a military officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who commanded a company during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Zaporozhye.
According to Melnyk, on October 10, the Russians launched a massive assault on the Lyubimivka – Novoivanivka line and managed to succeed.
He noted that the drone operators became hostages of the situation, as there were enemy forces on both sides of the landing, and the exit from the platoon reference point in the landing led straight into a clear field.
