The drone team of the 272nd Motor Rifle Battalion of the 1st Infantry Division of the Russian Army ambushed a Ukrainian pickup truck in Kupiansk-Uzlovoy. From the video released by the Russians, it can be seen that when the Ukrainian pickup was passing on the road, an FPV suddenly flew over and made a violent collision, destroying the pickup and the Ukrainian soldiers together.
Evgeny Podubny, a military journalist from All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK), reported this incident on his "Telegram" channel. Podubny concluded that the Russian aerial reconnaissance was very effective in monitoring Kupiansk, and once the Ukrainian forces appeared, they would be detected and attacked. Podubny pointed out that the Ukrainian forces in Kupiansk have suffered heavy losses from attacks by Russian drones and glide-guided bombs. Nevertheless, there is still no evidence that the Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from their positions in large numbers. "The enemy will not easily give up Kupiansk, and they are still trying to counterattack."
Podubny also said that the video of the Russian FPV attacking the Ukrainian pickup was shot in a wide industrial area, surrounded by buildings and engineering facilities. This means that it will be difficult for the Russians to occupy this place in a short period. Moreover, after occupying it, the Russians will need a longer time to thoroughly clear the area.
