The Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a series of long-range strikes against multiple Russian military objectives in the occupied regions of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk during the first days of May.
Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the USF, released footage on Sunday confirming the destruction of several high-value assets.

These operations follow a period of rapid technological escalation in drone warfare. Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Presidential Office, recently emphasized that success on the battlefield is increasingly dependent on innovation and the integration of advanced control systems.
The USF has been at the forefront of this shift, recently achieving a world-first by using a naval drone to launch an aerial interceptor.
Russian Artillery Strike Kills Civilian in Central Kherson
The systemic nature of these strikes is intended to degrade Russian military logistics and air defense layers.
Previous operations led by Commander Brovdi in April targeted similar high-value assets, including Iskander missile systems in Crimea, and contributed to significant logistical bottlenecks for the Russian military.
