Ukrainian drone teams overcame dense fog by using ground robots to spot Russia's advances, brigade says
""Taking advantage of weather conditions, namely thick fog, the adversary made a turn toward Ukrainian positions, hoping that our drones would be 'blind,'" the brigade wrote on its social media channels. "The Russians failed to account for one thing: state-of-the-art ground robotic reconnaissance systems, which during the enemy's assault operations were located in their rear," it added."
"The 93rd said the UGVs detected Russian columns in the region, allowing its drone teams to deploy first-person-view drones to dispatch the advancing troops. The brigade uploaded a video of what it said was the moment when a UGV spotted a Russian armored vehicle, as well as over a dozen clips of FPV drones flying into vehicles and dropping grenades on individual soldiers."
The 93rd Separate Rifle Brigade deployed uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) in Rusin Yar near Pokrovsk to locate Russian columns amid dense fog. The fog limited visibility for reconnaissance and strike drones that Ukraine typically uses, and Russian forces attempted to exploit reduced aerial surveillance. UGVs detected enemy columns in the region, allowing drone teams to launch first-person-view (FPV) drones to engage advancing troops. The brigade released video footage showing a UGV spotting an armored vehicle and multiple FPV drone attacks on vehicles and personnel. The incident shows UGVs can complement aerial systems in low-visibility conditions.
