Fighters from the Kharkiv "Spartan" brigade shot down a Russian "Orlan-10" and two SuperCam S350 drones.

This was reported by the information and communication department of the Eastern Kharkiv Territorial Administration of the National Guard of Ukraine, as conveyed by "Dumka".

According to the National Guard, the FPV interceptor unit of the "Spartan" brigade downed three powerful reconnaissance drones of the Russians - an "Orlan-10" and two SuperCam S350.

"These UAVs are considered some of the most advanced in the arsenal of the Russian army. The enemy actively uses them for intelligence gathering on the front line and deep within the zones of responsibility of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Reconnaissance drones ascend to altitudes ranging from 2 to 4 kilometers, with a flight range of 240 to 6. They are extremely difficult to shoot down, as well as to detect in the sky. The destruction of these UAVs depends on many factors, starting from weather conditions to the professional skills of the pilot," the brigade noted.

The FPV interceptor unit shot down two SuperCam S350 drones within 20 minutes. The brigade's drones approached close to enemy targets. After that, the "picture" cuts off - the enemy UAVs are hit, resulting in a loss of control and subsequent fall.

"Consequently, the Russian army in the Zaporizhzhia direction lost 'eyes' worth about 200 thousand dollars," the National Guard concluded.
