Shown the first application of the Turkish UAV Bayraktar-TB2 APU in Donbass
Confirmed information about the first use of reconnaissance and strike drone Bayraktar-TB2 in Donbass. This use was carried out by the armed forces of Ukraine, which was eventually reported by representatives of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A Turkish-made drone, which is part of one of the batches of this kind of weapons supplied by Ankara to Ukraine, was used in the Donetsk region. It is alleged that this was allegedly a response to the shelling of the positions of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Granitnoye.
Ukrainian statements claim that a guided bomb was dropped from the Bayraktar drone, which "destroyed the Russian howitzer." The frames are presented below.
The press service of the military department of Ukraine states that the Bayraktar-TB2 UAV of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not cross the line of contact. This supposedly should serve as a justification for the use of shock drone, as well as “confirmation” that “the Minsk agreements were not violated.” According to this “logic” of the Ukrainian side, we can also say that the howitzer of the DPR NM also did not cross the demarcation line, which means that “no violations of the Minsk agreements were committed”... If the words of the Ukrainian General Staff about the shooting from artillery According to Ukrainian positions, this generally corresponds to reality.
With the use of a drone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actually bringing the armed conflict in Donbas to a new level of confrontation. For the People's Militia of the Donbass Republics, Kiev is clearly sending a signal that it is ready to use any available forces and means to escalate the conflict. In turn, this is able to "untie the hands" of the power units of the LPNR for the full protection of their territories and citizens.
The application of the APU of the Turkish UAV Bayraktar-TB2 is shown. The video is also actively distributed by Turkish TV channels:
At the same time, judging by the footage, the destruction of the howitzer, as well as individual members of the crew, did not happen.
