A Perun drone delivered a ground-based system with a 7kg charge to enemy positions
Ukrainian marines have for the first time delivered a ground-based kamikaze robot to the Russian-occupied left bank of the Dnipro River using aerial transport. The device successfully neutralized a position of Russian drone operators. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine (Катерина Коваль) citing the Ukrainian Navy, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
During a special mission, the 426th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment implemented a combined combat approach. The successful completion of the task was made possible through the coordination of ground robot units with reconnaissance, bomber, and FPV drone crews.
Logistics of a combat robot
A Perun drone was used to transport the device to the left bank. The ground-based robotic complex was equipped with a 7-kilogram warhead. According to the military, the delivery was successful: the equipment landed without damage, maintaining a stable connection and controllability.
After deployment, the robot independently navigated a planned route. While moving, the military used aerial surveillance to identify enemy positions, which were immediately destroyed by FPV drone strikes.
Operation results
The final destination was an object housing Russian UAV operators. Once an occupier appeared at the building’s entrance, the robotic complex was detonated. To ensure total neutralization of the target, the position was subsequently struck by an FPV drone.
The command stated that the entire operation was documented and that Ukrainian forces suffered no casualties. The use of robotic systems in Ukraine is continuously expanding, adapting to challenging terrain conditions and underground infrastructure.
