Ukrainian forces claim to have achieved a first in warfare – taking control of Russian troop positions using only drones and ground-based robotic systems.

In a statement, President Volodymyr Zelensky said the operation marked the first time in the war that an enemy position had been captured entirely by unmanned platforms.

‘For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned systems – UGVs and drones,’ he said.

‘The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry involvement and without losses on our side.’
