A Ukrainian drone unit, the Lasar Group, claimed to destroy 171 Russian artillery pieces in two days using a newly developed munition targeting gun barrels. The operation, part of a multi-phase campaign called Operation Auchan, involved over 800 drones and hit 231 enemy artillery systems across eastern and southern fronts.

Ukraine's mid-range drones, used to attack Russian supply routes and command posts, often arrive at the front line with technical issues requiring extensive testing by pilots. A Typhoon unit pilot described severe glitches in new drones, including camera failures and unresponsive controls, highlighting challenges in quality control.
