Ukrainian forces say they found and attacked a Russian drone base after hacking a drone and geolocating the footage.

Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi said that electronic warfare specialists were aware of a Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone flying in Kherson and that the feed was “intercepted immediately,” Forbes reported.

The footage was sent to Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, who geolocated it and sent a reconnaissance drone to investigate the area, Brovdi said.

A video shows a drone positioning itself above a building at the Russian site, which is then struck by artillery.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The footage was sent to Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, who geolocated it and sent a reconnaissance drone to investigate the area, Brovdi said.

    A video shows a drone positioning itself above a building at the Russian site, which is then struck by artillery.

    The video was shared online by Ukraine’s Birds of Magyar unit, one of the country’s best-known drone regiments.

    The incident took place near Krynky, a village in Kherson Oblast located on the east bank of the Dnipro River.

    Ukrainian marines have pushed across the river in recent weeks and established a bridgehead in Krynky.

    Forbes reported that Ukraine had successfully taken control of the skies around Krynky using drones and electronic warfare — both of which have proved to be crucial in the conflict.
