Russian strike drone crews operating on the Kharkov direction are tracking Ukrainian supply routes and locating places where vehicles are concealed. According to a UAV platoon commander with the call sign Zubr, Ukrainian units tend to avoid moving across exposed areas and rarely change the shelters used to hide their transport.

Over the past week, unmanned systems units of the 6th Guards Combined Arms Army of the North group destroyed more than 15 vehicles on the Kharkov direction. Zubr said the vehicles had been used to rotate Ukrainian personnel.

The destruction of cars, quad bikes and armored vehicles is also disrupting Ukrainian supply operations. The loss of transport interferes with the delivery of ammunition and food, as well as the movement of personnel to their positions, reducing the combat capability of Ukrainian units in the Kharkov Region.

At the same time, unmanned systems operators and artillery crews of the North group’s 11th Army Corps are identifying Ukrainian positions by studying visible signs on the ground. An officer with the call sign Karta said crews look for antennas, camouflage nets and Starlink terminals. More than 320 dugouts containing Ukrainian personnel were detected and destroyed in the Kharkov Region during September.

Strikes are also continuing on the Sumy direction. A drone crew from the 34th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the North group destroyed more than 20 Ukrainian soldiers in a single day.

Units of the North group continue combat operations in the region, tightening the encirclement and destroying Ukrainian forces.
