Footage shows Russian FPV drones striking operators from the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The operators were spotted while in the process of launching their own drones. The video was captured by operators from the 3rd Army Corps of Russia’s Southern Group of Forces. The location and the specific models of the FPV drones used have not been disclosed.

Russian FPV drone strikes against Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment in October. The combat operations feature various FPV drone models, including the "VT-40," "Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky," and "Ovod," as well as others—some of which utilize fiber-optic cable guidance (technical details on these can be found on the channel). The exact location of the footage is not disclosed. The October video shows Russian FPV drones striking a variety of Ukrainian military hardware. Specifically, the footage captures hits on a Ukrainian "Grad" multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), a Kirpi armored vehicle, a Puma armored personnel carrier (APC), a Kozak armored vehicle, a 2S3 "Akatsiya" self-propelled howitzer, a 2S22 "Bohdana" self-propelled howitzer, a Humvee, an M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer, an M1126 Stryker APC, a YPR-765 APC, a "Protector" wheeled drone, and other military equipment.

Footage shows the destruction of two rare Ukrainian 155mm DITA self-propelled howitzers by Russian FPV drones. The video was filmed in the vicinity of Novopavlivka. A second DITA howitzer was destroyed while on the move in the Sumy region. The DITA is an automated system manufactured in the Czech Republic by Excalibur Army. It has a firing range of approximately 39 kilometers, a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, and is mounted on a Tatra 815 8×8 chassis. Ukraine received 15 of these howitzers.

Footage shows the destruction of five Ukrainian "Protector" heavy wheeled robotic vehicles by Russian FPV drones. The videos were recorded in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, as well as in the Donbas. The "Protector" wheeled robotic system is manufactured by the company "Ukrainian Armored Vehicles" (Ukrainska Bronetekhnika) and was first unveiled in 2024. The "Protector" is quite large—essentially an unmanned vehicle. While it can be equipped with a turret, it is primarily used for transporting cargo weighing up to 1.5 tons; it has a top speed of 60 km/h and a range of 400 km. The unit is operated via a Starlink satellite connection.

This is the only footage currently available of an unusual interception: a Russian FPV drone intercepting a Ukrainian FPV drone that was being controlled via a fiber-optic cable. The Russian drone pursued the Ukrainian one and likely damaged its control cable during the flight. It is also worth noting that this is a rare instance of footage from an FPV drone equipped with a microphone; it is likely a "loitering" (or "waiting") drone.

Footage shows two unsuccessful attacks by Ukrainian "Hornet" drones—one targeting a Russian semi-truck and another aimed at a truck carrying construction materials. The end of the clip shows an attack by a Ukrainian "Hornet" drone on a Russian fuel truck; the drone was shot down by a Russian mobile air defense unit, "Bars-Sarmat." "Hornet" drones are manufactured in the United States and operated by the Ukrainian military via the Starlink satellite network—the terminals are clearly visible on the drones.

Footage shows strikes by a Russian 300mm "Tornado-S" multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) on two buildings housing Ukrainian drone operators. The video also captures the arrival of a group of Ukrainian soldiers. The footage depicts two strikes by a "Tornado-S" (possibly a "Sarma" variant) in the Kharkiv region, specifically in the settlement of Velykyi Burluk. Judging by the video, one of the rockets struck the edge of a building.

Footage shows the destruction of five Ukrainian drones—of an unidentified type—by a Russian Strela-10 surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. The video was recorded by the 74th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, part of the "Center" grouping of forces, in the Dobropillia direction. The 9K35 Strela-10 system entered service with the USSR in 1976 and has since undergone multiple upgrades. The Strela-10 air defense system is capable of engaging targets at a range of up to 5 km. Despite its age, the system remains effective at downing certain types of drones.
