Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces take occupied Donetsk airport under fire control in first such operation in Ukrainian military history
The military explained that "the occupiers have turned the Donetsk Airport into a military logistics hub and a key launch site for Shahed attack UAVs." Ukrainian troops are systematically burning out enemy infrastructure, making it impossible for the airfield to function.
The 1st Separate Center said:
"Our attack drone operators are destroying launchers and transport vehicles and eliminating crews directly on the runway. At the same time, we are systematically hunting the enemy's mobile fire groups and air defenses, forcing the enemy to cancel flights.
By striking engineering equipment, fuel tankers and logistics hubs, we are completely degrading the airfield ecosystem. The result of our work is destroyed Shahed launchers, destroyed construction cranes, enemy vehicles and property warehouses."
According to Serafym "Falco" Hordiienko, an officer of the 1st Separate USF Center who was responsible for planning the operation, "fire control over the Donetsk Airport carried out by the 1st Separate Center is an example of an asymmetric operation in which exceptionally small forces disrupted the enemy's operational and strategic plans."
