In Luhansk direction, Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters hit Supercam drone operators

Soldiers of the Defence Forces in the Luhansk region successfully hit the operators of the Russian Supercam reconnaissance drone. The operation was carried out with the help of a Ukrainian drone of the 15th separate artillery reconnaissance brigade "Black Forest". The video was published on July 4 on the Facebook page of the Ukrainian unit.

A Ukrainian drone near the village of Varvarivka tracked a Russian Supercam drone, which was used for aerial photography and creating highly detailed digital maps of the area. The drone operators waited until the Russian military approached their drone to retrieve it. At this moment, Ukrainian forces launched a precise strike, resulting in the elimination of several enemy operators.

As Military observers noted , the area where the attack took place was protected by Russian air defence systems. However, attempts to shoot down the Ukrainian drone were unsuccessful. The video recorded the trail of an air defence missile flying past a Ukrainian UAV.

Experts also recalled the characteristics of the Russian UAV. The Supercam S350 drone used by Russian forces is designed for aerial photography and remote monitoring of terrain and objects.

It has a flight duration of up to 4.5 hours and an information transmission range of up to 70-100 km. The design of the drone is significant: the length of the device is 1.5 meters, and the wingspan is 3.5 meters, which requires special catapults to launch it.

“This is not the first case of the destruction of operators of this drone model. In 2023, in the Zaporizhzhya region, the Ukrainian military eliminated the Russian crew of Supercam S350 drones,” summed up the observers.
