Russian Air Defense Forces have successfully shot down a Ukrainian drone over the Surazhsky District of the Bryansk Region. This incident was reported by the governor of the region, Alexander Bogomaz.
According to Bogomaz, Ukrainian terrorists attempted to attack targets within the Surazhsky District using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but their aircraft was destroyed.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported, and emergency services are currently on-site handling the situation.
On the night of February 22, Russian air defense systems also destroyed enemy targets in two other regions. A UAV was shot down over the Bryansk Region, while an S-200 surface-to-air missile was destroyed over the Rostov Region, as confirmed by the Ministry of Defense.
Meanwhile, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Vadim Sukharevsky, claimed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are conducting test flights of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with artificial intelligence technology, which were provided by the United Kingdom.
Previous reports indicated that the “Chaika” drone, designed for surveillance purposes, will undergo testing in the air defense zone in March.
[Additional context: It is important to note the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukraine accusing Russia of supporting separatist movements in Eastern Ukraine. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles in military operations has become increasingly common in modern warfare. The incident highlights the escalating tensions between the two countries.]
