The enemy continues to significantly expand its artillery presence in the Pokrovsk agglomeration while attempting to establish an extensive network of launch sites for UAV crews. These assets are being used to support Russian offensive operations, particularly in the direction of Hryshyne.

To enhance counter-battery warfare capabilities, the 7th Air Assault Corps held a coordination meeting with the Lasar’s Group UAV special unit and the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “Magyar’s Birds,” which has recently reinforced operations within the Corps’ area of responsibility.

Participants analyzed the current tactics employed by the enemy and identified priority objectives for joint operations.

Among the key decisions reached during the meeting were:

  • The deployment of joint unmanned systems crews from the 7th Air Assault Corps and the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “Magyar’s Birds.”
  • Improving the quality of aerial reconnaissance to more effectively detect and destroy enemy artillery systems, which the adversary is increasingly concealing.

The participants also agreed to increase the number of sorties conducted by crews dedicated exclusively to engaging enemy artillery positions and UAV operator launch sites.
