Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces wipe out over 900 Russian troops in a day and a half

Fighters from Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have wiped out 900 Russian soldiers over the past day and a half along a 100-kilometre section of the front line in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Quote: "The USF Birds packed 900+ worms [Russian troops – ed.] in body bags in just a day and a half along a section of front exactly 100 kilometres long [Rodynske-Huliaipole]."

Details: USF's press service specified to Ukrainska Pravda that this refers to Russian losses in terms of those killed and wounded.

Brovdi notes that sudden change in weather on 17-18 March in the three hottest sectors of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia fronts [the Dobropillia, Pokrovsk and Huliaipole sections], as well as Russia's planned start of the spring and summer campaign, pushed the Russians to resume assault operations under cover of bad weather long awaited throughout March.

According to Magyar, the Russians were counting on invisibility, but this did not work.

Quote: "900 in a day and a half is something of a new record! Well done, gentlemen of USF's 'bird' subculture. Drone operators from our neighbouring brigades also worked their socks off. And the defenders on the ground were unbeatable – the enemy did not push through a single section over a day and a half on the above-mentioned stretch. But the occupiers' total losses are much higher. Hold the line, what's left of March will bring a heavy and prolonged battle."
