Ukrainian assault teams have successfully cleared several streets in the embattled city of Pokrovsk, using drone-guided operations to drive Russian troops from their positions, the 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skelya” reported on November 12.
According to the regiment, small tactical groups are being deployed to clear buildings of occupying forces, with each move coordinated in real time by reconnaissance drones. “The drones not only detect targets but even indicate the direction of fire for the troops,” the unit reported.
Once enemy infantry is detected, Ukrainian forces deploy strike drones to eliminate targets before sending in assault groups—a tactic that significantly reduces risk to personnel.
The fighting in Pokrovsk has intensified over recent days as Russian troops continue to press their assault using light vehicles and small infantry units.
