While performing combat missions in Kharkiv region, the soldiers of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine spotted a Russian unmanned aerial vehicle that crossed the state border and flew deep into the territory of Ukraine.
Border guards downed a Russian drone using special technical means.
"It turned out to be a secret device designed for creating maps of the area, so-called Kartograf. It has a camera with 12 lenses and is part of the 'family' of Ptero multi-purpose unmanned systems," the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reports.
The Russian invaders thus try to carry out aerial reconnaissance and launch operational-tactical UAVs of various modifications.
Soldiers of the State Border Guard Service actively counter enemy air targets.
As reported, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated about 199,980 Russian invaders from February 24, 2022 to May 16, 2023.
