Ukraine’s drones strike Russian air defenses, marking 28th asset down in May

Over two nights, Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces hit Russian air-defense assets (including an ST-68 radar and a Pantsir-S1) and logistics targets across occupied Crimea and the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions, alongside depots, fuel trains, and supply vehicles. Kyiv’s middle-strike campaign aims to degrade Russia’s rear logistics and radar coverage, with May’s tally of air-defense assets hit reaching 28 as the land corridor and other supply routes come under pressure. The operations were reported by SBS and the Ukrainian General Staff, with units such as the 1st Separate Center, the 414th Madyar’s Birds, the 20th K-2, the Phoenix unit, and the Nemesis brigade involved.

Litavr Sets World-First: Remote Shahed Interceptions From Safe Locations Across Ukraine

Ukraine’s 190th Training Center’s Litavr drone-interceptor, built with F-Drones, has achieved remote interception of Shahed drones, allowing pilots to operate interceptors from safe locations via internet-linked control. The system enables country-wide defense with a 350 km/h speed, up to 15 minutes of flight, an official 36 km radius (practically 60 km), and a 500 g warhead, and it already destroys hundreds of drones weekly, expanding Ukraine’s defensive options.
